  • Page 18 Should you use your computer remote control, this should be programmed without using a mixer in the standard program. To correctly align the pilot stick for the desired control commands, it is necessary to programme the RC EYE 450 with the used transmitter. In the process, the quadrotor’s electronics system memorises which channel which control command broadcasts. As a basic principle, you can freely choose the configuration of the control handle (according to your habits), however, it is recommended that beginners follow the recommended examples.

  • Page 22 Possible flight modes Mode Throttle Rudder Elevator Aileron Setting of the flight mode The RC EYE 450 offers three different flight modes. > Beginner (suitable for novices) > Sport (suitable for proficient RC EYE 450 pilots; lower axis limits and higher dynamics) > User (flight parameters adjustable with a optionally available configuration PC software, see “Configuration of the PC software” on page 23) The flight mode is configured before switch-on by setting the DIP switches and cannot be altered during operation. The positions for the switches are on the combined flight control board (QC-09 & QC-07). Beginners in particular are urgently advised to reduce the directness of the control command with which the RC EYE 450 performs the commands from the remote control around the centre detent (negativeexponential “expo”).

  • Page 25: Before Each Use

    10. before eaCH use Checking the Connections Check all screws for tightness before transport and flights. Vibration during transport and flight may cause screws to loosen. Due to this, you need to conduct a thorough pre-flight check just as for a real helicopter. Checking Movable Parts Always check all movable parts and all parts with bearings for unobstructed movement before flying. They must be easy to move, but without play. adjustment of the neutral Position So that the stabilisation of the RC EYE 450 works correctly, the neutral position must be set. This is the position that the RC EYE 450 tries to stabilise, as long as no other flying manoeuvre is desired.

  • Page 26: Safety Devices

    11. safeTy devICes The RC EYE 450 has a range of safety devices which protect the model from damage and/or should reduce possible damage to a minimum. The protection mechanisms are identified by LED indicators. For this, please observe the following chapter “12. LED Displays” on page 27. Motor protection The control electronics has a motor protection which immediately switches off all motors if one rotor is blocked (e.g.

You will find the LEDs on the control board. ready to fly After you have plugged in the flight battery and have not yet started the motors, the green LED lights up and the red LED is off. Your RC EYE 450 is ready to operate. If this is not the case, there is a disturbance. Please observe the following operating instructions in this chapter.

  • Page 28: Information For First Take-Off

    Faulty radio link during flight operation You want to take off and the engines are already switched on or during flight operation. The red and the green LEDs flash slowly at the same time and indicate a faulty radio link. Possible causes: Receiver crystal has fallen out of the base, receiver crystal is faulty, receiver antenna has broken off. Transmitter antenna not pulled out, second transmitter with the same transmitter channel switched on/ batteries from transmitter empty. Check the possible cause and restart once more. Should there be permanent radio interference during flight, the RC EYE 450 will start an emergency landing and the LEDs will also indicate a faulty radio link here through simultaneous flashing.
  • Page 29 The gyros in the RC EYE 450 are linked together so that after the end of a control command the RC EYE 450 always attempts to reach neutral position (hovering flight). How well this works depends of course on the space available, the flight speed and/or the prevailing flight condition, the trim values of the RC EYE 450 and external flight conditions e.g. wind. starting the motor before switching the transmitter on, please set the throttle stick to “motor off” and all trim levers of the pilot stick to zero (mid trimming).
  • Page 30 rudder “Rudder” denotes the rotation of the RC EYE 450 around the rudder axis (vertical axis). This movement either occurs unintentionally due to the speed torque of the rotors or intentionally as a flight direction change. For the RC EYE 450, this movement is not controlled by a tail rotor, but through speed variation of the individual rotors to each other.

THe fIrsT flIgHT before switching the transmitter on, please set the throttle stick to “motor off” and all trim levers of the pilot stick to zero (mid trimming). otherwise, the rC eye 450 may not recognise the transmitter after the battery is connected. Switch on the remote control. Then connect the flight battery. The RC EYE 450 then acknowledges a short self-test with the permanent lighting of the green LED. In the case of error, the LEDs flash. Should an error occur, the battery should be disconnected and connected again after the error has been eliminated (e.g.

    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). Practice this starting procedure a few times to get a feel for the RC EYE 450. As soon as you are reasonably sure, you can begin to steer the direction with rudder, elevator and aileron.
