And with this type of setup I'd probably have a notebook computer with a game controller (xbox) to act as the flight controls of the vehicle - as well as use a simple auto pilot setup on board to allow the vehicle to maintain control if the mobile data connection is lost (what, like a PixHawk?). I understand this is a very complicated setup and certainly not an ideal beginner project
