Normally, the RC EYE 450 responds linearly. This means that the pilot stick deflection and the reaction
are synchronous. With negative expo, the RC EYE 450 will respond relatively sluggishly at the start of the
controlling motion. In the case of stronger control deflections, however, it responds much more strongly to
the control command. This is particularly beneficial for beginners who initially tend to oversteer, i.e. move
the control stick of the remote control more intensely than necessary.
This effect is, of course, only desired for the three control axes (aileron, elevator and rudder) and not,
however, for throttle. Thus: Do not configure expo on the throttle! In other words: With negative expo,
slow behavior of the flying device is achieved on the controlling motions in the area of the centre detent of
the pilot stick. This takes place either via the optionally available software, via the RC EYE 450's jumpers
(see "beginner mode") or via the existing "expo function" of the remote control. Only computerised remote
controls can set "expo". However, care must be taken, since the higher the negative expo selected, the
more aggressively the RC EYE 450 reacts when the control stick is moved in the area of full deflection.
To set the modes:
> Beginner - Switch off DIP 1 and 2.
> Sport - Switch on DIP 1 and switch off DIP 2.
> User - Switch off DIP 1 and switch on DIP 2.
Configuration of the PC software
To fly the RC EYE 450 using your own settings, you may connect the electronics system of the RC EYE 450
to a PC via the provided RC EYE Interface cable (serial TTL on USB).
The PC configuration is part of the PC configuration kit "89002RC RC EYE Data Kit with Interface Cable",
which is available from the RC Logger website at http://www.rclogger.com.
For instructions on how to set up the RC EYE 450 with your PC, navigate to the respective product page,
open the download tab and follow the link "PC configuration mode guide and firmware update instructions".
There you will be provided with the necessary information to get started.
