Quick question : link between drone and his controller

[Xblog]

Hi All,
Just a quick question : How works the link between drone and his controller (gps or direct link ??)
In fact, should I always see the drone to pilot it ? if there is an obstacle (like a like a mountain) between us, does it work ?

Thanks you so much for precision !

Sorry for my english :/

It's a direct link, and a mountain will likely disconnect you. When that happens the RTH will initiate and the drone will crash into the Mountain.

The radio frequency is 2.4Ghz, which will not pass through solid objects (like walls, trees, and mountains); therefore, you will always need to maintain line of sight between the controller and the drone to operate it.
