•
Winglets: These structures add aerodynamic stability to the drone while it
is in flight.
•
Ailerons: Used to control the eBee while in flight.
•
Servo connection mechanism: The ailerons are connected to the servo-
motors within the central body of the drone through this connection mech-
anism.
•
Propeller: Used to generate thrust while it is in flight.
Caution: When attached to the motor the propeller spins at high
speeds and can be potentially dangerous if it comes into contact with
exposed skin. Be sure to always keep your hands clear of the propeller
when the battery is attached to the eBee.
•
Battery compartment: The eBee is powered by a LiPo (Lithium Polymer)
battery stored within the battery compartment.
Caution: Proper care of your battery is essential. Please read the eBee
Extended User Manual before using your drone for the first time.
•
Camera compartment: The eBee features a built-in camera for taking aerial
images stored within the camera compartment.
•
Data Link Antenna: Used by the drone to communicate with the eMotion
software through the USB ground modem.
•
Pitot probe: This is the sensor used by the eBee to detect airspeed, wind
and altitude. It must be kept clean and clear of obstructions to function
properly.
•
Status LED: This coloured LED displays the current state of the eBee. It is
housed underneath the pitot probe and thus illuminates the entire trans-
parent probe in various colours depending on the drone’s state.
