      We've purchased a VOXL m500 kit recently, and I've been looking at the getting started documentation for it and I'm not seeing a lot of information on how to get up and running in autonomous mode. I see the steps to get to first and second flight, all with an RC radio. I did see some demos on the youtube channel, like the one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj1EZ_eTGPI&ab_channel=ModalAI. I'm hoping to replicate this. I also took a look at the some of the content on the VOXL Flight and VOXL Flight Deck sections to get some insight, but still unclear if I need to purchase an RC radio to get started on my development. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide. I'm relatively new to this whole platform.

          I will try those steps ASAP. It looks like the RC radio is more of a nice-to-have failsafe in this mode, is that accurate? Thanks for the tip

            @Developer-Evaluation Exactly. If you're using an alternate data link for motor control such as LTE or Microhard the RC radio is purely for safety purposes.
