5.1 System topologies
Each FlightZoomer system topology offers a different solution how the Cockpit-app communicates with the flight controller.
The most basic system topology makes use of a 3rd party radio telemetry solution.
Besides that, the user has the option to choose more comprehensive system topologies, which include an onboard smartphone. This offers several benefits like unlimited range.
