Flying Multiple Vehicles in Offboard Mode Concurrently
-
Does anyone have experience flying multiple sentinels with the same rc transmitter? Are you able to bind multiple vehicles to the same transmitter at once? I'm using a Spektrum DX9 and from some digging it seems like I can set up a different model for each vehicle and switch between them, but I'm not sure if they remained bound to the transmitter after you switch.
Does flying in offboard mode require an RC connection? Let's say I bind to one vehicle, take off in manual and switch it over to offboard mode will it remain in offboard mode if i have to switch models in the transmitter and connect to another vehicle or will it trigger some failsafe and try to land?
My goal is to have 2-4 vehicles flying concurrently and have some quick, reliable way to switch between them and go back to manual control if something goes wrong

@jmltt You do not need RC for offboard mode. However, you will have to look and see how your failsafes are set for lost RC to see what it will do. But definitely make sure that you are doing things in a safe manner!
