Agility
"Agility".will.keep.the.locked.in.heading.no.matter.how.much.the.wind.blows.or.the.torque.of.the.motors.change..The.only.time.the.RC.EYE.
650 will yaw left or right is when you give it a command to do so.

Before switching the transmitter on, set the throttle stick to "motors off" and all trim levers / trim sliding controllers of
the pilot stick to the neutral position. otherwise, the rC eye 650 may not recognise the transmitter after the battery is
connected.
1.
Switch on the remote control.
2.
Then.connect.the.flight.battery..The.RC.EYE.650.then.performs.a.short.self-test.after.which.the.green.LED.is.permanently.lit..In.case.
of.an.error,.the.LEDs.flash..If.an.error.occurs,.the.rechargeable.battery.should.be.disconnected.and.connected.again.after.the.error.is.
eliminated (e.g. throttle not in zero position). In case of an error, the motors cannot be started again for safety reasons. Ensure that the
RC.EYE.650.stands.as.levelly.as.possible.when.the.rechargeable.battery.is.connected..Until.the.green.LED.lights.up,.all.sensors.are.
being.internally.aligned.and.the.RC.EYE.650.should.not.be.moved.during.this.time..If.the.place.of.take-off.is.uneven,.it.is.recommended.
that.you.level.out.the.surface.and.save.the.neutral.position.through.full.throttle/yaw.right.(see.chapter."set.neutral.position").
3.
Start.the.motors.(with.throttle.on.zero,.yaw.left).and.let.the.motors.run.at.idling.speed..Check.the.running.of.the.propellers.once.again..
All.propellers.should.run.smoothly.on.one.level.without.the.RC.EYE.650.vibrating..If.a.motor.does.not.start,.turn.the.motors.off.again.and.
move.the.propeller.of.the.non-starting.motor.to.a.quarter.rotation.with.your.hand..Then.start.the.motors.again.
4.
Ideally,.now.slowly.increase.the.speed.of.the.propellers.(the.throttle).of.the.RC.EYE.650.until.you.can.see.a.slight.increase.of.altitude..
Test.the.roll.and.yaw.directions.just.before.the.RC.EYE.650.starts.to.hover.to.ensure.that.the.transmitter.is.correctly.set.and.there.is.no.
channel inverting (control signals are reversed). Generally avoid any fast and big controlling motions. Also watch closely to see whether
and.in.which.direction.the.RC.EYE.650.moves..By.using.trimming.on.the.remote.control,.you.can.prevent.undesired.movements
Never take off with a badly trimmed flight device.
5.
Then.increase.the.throttle.until.the.RC.EYE.650.is.at.least.one.metre.above.the.ground..Carefully.try.to.correct.a.gentle.drift.with.the.trim.
levers.for.yaw,.nick.or.roll.
6.
As.soon.as.the.RC.EYE.650.is.high.enough.in.the.sky,.decrease.the.throttle.until.the.RC.EYE.650.hovers..Now.you.have.managed.the.
critical.part.and.can.slowly.and.carefully.better.familiarise.yourself.with.the.throttle.controlling.motions.of.the.RC.EYE.650..To.land.the.
RC.EYE.650.again,.decrease.the.throttle.slightly.until.the.RC.EYE.650.gravitates.to.the.ground..A.somewhat.solid.touchdown.on.the.
ground.is.no.problem.and.should.not.be.corrected.with.jerky.throttle.movements.
7.
Try.to.touch.down.where.possible.in.vertical.position.("helicopter.landing")..Avoid.landing.with.high.horizontal.speeds.("airplane.landing")..
After.landing,.turn.off.the.motors.(press.throttle.stick.to.the.bottom.right)..
8.
Practice.this.starting.procedure.a.few.times.to.get.a.feel.for.the.RC.EYE.650..As.soon.as.you.are.reasonably.sure,.you.can.begin.to.
steer.the.direction.with.yaw,.nick.and.roll..Always.steer.slowly.and.carefully.and.practice.the.processes.a.little.before.trying.a.new.flight.
manoeuvre..The.first.flights.should.not.last.longer.than.30.to.60.seconds.each.
