hover flight
For a simpler and consistent explanation of steering, classic terminology is used here as well. This comes from flight language and
is widely used.
Directional.descriptions.are.always.to.be.interpreted.from.the.perspective.of.a."virtual".pilot..in.the.model..The.aluminium.profile.with.the.
attached.arrow.is.considered."front"..The.explanations.are.all.based.on.configuration.of.the.remote.control.to.mode.2.
"Hovering".denotes.a.flight.status.in.which.the.RC.EYE.650.neither.rises.nor.falls.so.that.the.upwards.directed.uplift.force.is.equal.to.the.
downwards directed weight. This is achieved approximately in mid throttle setting (but independent of a possible payload).
During.flight.close.above.the.ground.and.during.take-off,.turbulence.and.air.flow.can.be.experienced.which.may.affect.the.RC.EYE.
650..A.quicker.response.to.the.controlling.motions.and.slight.swerving.of.the.RC.EYE.650.forwards,.backwards.or.to.the.side.may.
result from this.
yaw
"Yaw".denotes.the.rotation.of.the.RC.EYE.650.around.the.yaw.axis.(vertical.axis)..This.movement.either.occurs.unintentionally.due.to.the.
speed.torque.of.the.propellers.or.intentionally.as.a.flight.direction.change..For.the.RC.EYE.650.,this.movement.is.not.controlled.by.a.tail.
propeller, but through speed variation of the individual propellers to each other.
nick
"Nick".denotes.the.movement.around.the.cross.axis.which.can.be.compared.to.the.nodding.of.a.head..Through.this,.the.RC.EYE.650.gains.
flight.speed.forwards.or.backwards.or.decelerates.
roll
"Roll".denotes.the.movement.around.the.centre.line.which.can.be.compared.to.the.sideways.rolling.of.a.ball.(or.the.sideways.crawl.of.a.
crab)..In.this.way,.lifting.the.left.side.moves.the.RC.EYE.650.to.the.right.independently.of.its.forward.direction.
