Oh there are no lines, it RC. I control altitude with throttle and have not room to loop it even though there is a button for snap rolls. The on board ic keeps it at a preset altitude until I give it control. It is really simple if you ignore all the buttons. H^^

I few years back brother sent me a small 4 rotor toy drone with a LOT of built in software for a $29 dollar device...even connects to smart phone for fixed video..no pan tilt zoom
Since I have bought 3 more similar dinky drones to play with in the shop auto hover and return to home buttons get used a LOT...great time wasters for the money

Doc - Don't feel too bad I have been using RC equipment and electric power on the CL models for over 20 years now.

They race these things in bars and coffee shops. Beware, operating the 5.8GHz video transmitter (VTX) requires a Ham radio license. I got mine last spring.

Of course they have to rely on a lot of ON air monitoring and from complaints of interference by licensed users
Now as relates to the licensed spectrum and band widths of First Person Video in small hobby drones, there is little to no perceptible interference. All the Commercial licensees and Amateur (HAM) users of that spectrum are not many, and in the case of HAMs, mostly use it in sophisticated packet technologies that are fairly immune to low Db interference.

Like so many things these days, people ignore FCC requirements for a license. For a short time, the FCC tried to license radio control (R/C) transmitters. No one bothered, so the FCC decided that maybe that was another bad idea. Amateur Radio (hams, to some) is another field where people don't bother with a license, knowing that the government doesn't have the facilities or the ambition to prosecute people without the required license.

My first R/C set was an EK Logictrol LRB 4 channel brick system, and it came with an FCC license application for non-voice operation, circa 1975. At the same time, the CB radio craze hit the scene and required a license also for voice operation. Bothe were for 5 years and cost 25 bucks each!! I still have them some where around here. It was the CB craze that over whelmed the FCC> I remember reports at the time that they could not keep up with the crush of applications so the FCC eliminated the license. Then the radio and TV stations started to cry 'FOUL!" and that started a long court argument. The early remote TV systems for R/C airplanes required a license also due to the frequency they broadcast on. . I remember those because we used to sell the systems at the hobby shop I worked part time at. It's the "BADGES!!!?? WE DON"T NEED NOP STINKING BADGES!!" syndrome!
Type at you later,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
