Go on about a remote control device (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go' is the definition.
(droning is a kind of going)

'on about a remote control device' is the wordplay.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'a remote control device' becomes 'dre' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' placed within 'dre' is 'DRONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drone that I've seen before include "person averse to work" , "Male honey bee - hum" , "He buzzes, but not with energy!" , "Sustained bass note accompanying a melody - male bee" , "boring speaker" .)
