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. 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 respectively.

regular Cleaning
The RC EYE 450 is a very simple but nonetheless well designed flying device. There are no mechanical
parts which need to be lubricated or require special maintenance. However, after each flight operation, you
should clean the RC EYE 450 of possible dirt (grass blades, dust etc.).
For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid contact between water and the electronics, battery
and motors.
Do not fly without covering the electronics. Please ensure that no moisture enters the inner central piece
(e.g. wet grass blades etc.) Never fly when it is raining!
replacing the propellers
If a rotor is damaged through crashing or other action, you must replace this immediately. This also applies
should you detect fine tears or crazing in the rotor. Due to the high speed, material parts could come loose if
the rotors are damaged and this could lead to damage to or endangerment of the environment.
To change a rotor, remove the rotor tip with the spring washers and the faulty rotor. Carry out the mounting
of the new rotor as described in the chapter “Replacing a motor” on page 32, under mounting of the
rotors.
Please observe the rotating direction of the respective motor and the choice of the
corresponding rotor without fail. If these are incorrectly chosen, the model will not be
able to fly and will act in an erratic way when next started!
replacing a motor
If a motor is faulty (overheating, electrical fault or bearing failure), this must be replaced. For this purpose,
carry out the following steps as specified:
> Remove the rotor from the faulty motor.
> Remove the upper enclosure and the upper part of the grid frame by loosening the upper screws. Now
you have free access to the motor drivers (driver board). You can also carefully remove these from the
