11. THE FIRST TAKE-OFF
The operation and handling of remote controlled ight models must be learned! If you
have never steered such a model, start especially carefully and get used to the reactions
of the model to the remote control commands rst. Do be patient! Use the information
from chapter INFORMATION FOR FIRST TAKE-OFF as reference.
Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your
environment depends completely on your responsible use of the model.
1. Switch off the remote control transmitter by pushing the on/off button. The transmitter conrms this with
a double sound.
2. Put the throttle lever all the way back (engines out).
3. Resets the trims at the transmitter to “0”. For this, push the two associated trim buttons for rudder,
elevator and aileron (also see the gure in OPERATING ELEMENTS OF THE TRANSMITTER AND
RC EYE One S, operating elements 4 and 6 of 88005RC (mode 1) Transmitter / operating elements 4,
6 and 7 of 88006RC (mode 2) Transmitter) in sequence until neutralisation of the trimming is conrmed
with a double sound signal.
4. Then connect the ight battery. For this, push the battery plug into the socket of the “RC EYE One S”
in the correct polarity (also see the gure in OPERATING ELEMENTS OF THE TRANSMITTER AND
RC EYE One S, Model Bottom, element 3; observe plug contours). The LED in the model starts ashing
green after a short period at a correct reception signal (starter mode).
5. Place the ight battery into the intended holder of the “RC EYE One S” and secure it with hook-and-loop
tape (also see the gure in OPERATING ELEMENTS OF THE TRANSMITTER AND RC EYE One S,
Model Bottom, element 2 and 4).
6. Push the button mode (gure 6, item 1) to select the desired mode.
- LED ashes green = beginner’s mode (basic conguration after each battery change)
- LED ashes orange = sports mode
- LED ashes red = expert mode
7. Place the model on a level surface as smooth as possible (e.g. stone oor). A carpet is less suitable
because the landing legs may get caught in the carpet easily.
8. Start the engines by carefully pushing the throttle lever forwards. Ideally, now slowly increase the speed
of the propellers (the throttle) of the “RC EYE One S” until you can see a slight increase of altitude.
Test the aileron and elevator directions just before the “RC EYE One S” starts to hover to ensure that
the transmitter is correctly set. Generally avoid any fast and big controlling motions. Also watch closely
to see whether and in which direction the “RC EYE One S” moves. By using trimming on the remote
control, you can prevent undesired movements.
Important! Never take off with a badly trimmed ight device.
