Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the aircraft does not need a phone for connectivity or as a display device for flying. You will need an internet connection for firmware updates and uploading flight logs, but other than that you don't need to use your phone as a hotspot. The RC Pro remote's screen is much brighter than a phone's and a lot less hassle for setting up to fly.
