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.
throttle not in zero position). In the case of an error, the motors cannot be started again for safety reasons.
Please ensure that the quadrotor stands as level as possible when the battery is connected. Until the green
LED lights up, all sensors are being internally aligned and the RC EYE 450 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/rudder right (see chapter “Adjustment of the Neutral Position” on page 25).
Start the motors (with throttle on zero, rudder left) and let the motors run at idling speed. Check the running
of the rotors once again. All rotors should run smoothly in a plane without the RC EYE 450 vibrating. Should
a motor not start, turn the motors off again and move the rotor of the non-starting motor to a quarter rotation
with your hand. Then start the motors again.
Ideally, now slowly increase the speed of the rotors (the throttle) of the RC EYE 450 until you can see
a slight increase of altitude. Test the aileron and rudder direction just before the RC EYE 450 starts to
hover to ensure that the transmitter is correctly set and there is no channel inverting (control signals are
reversed). Avoid in general fast-paced and bid controlling motions. Also watch closely to see whether and in
which direction the RC EYE 450 moves. By using trimming on the remote control, you can align undesired
movements.
Never take off with a badly trimmed flight device.
Then increase the throttle until the RC EYE 450 is at least one meter above the ground. Carefully try to
correct a gentle drift using the trim lever for rudder, elevator or aileron.
As soon as the RC EYE 450 is high enough in the sky, decrease the throttle until the quadrotor hovers.
Now you have managed the critical part and can slowly and carefully familiarise yourself with the throttle
controlling motions better! To land the RC EYE 450 again, decrease the throttle slightly until the RC EYE 450
gravitates to the ground. A somewhat solid touchdown on the ground is no problem and should not be
corrected with jerky throttle movements.
