10. InforMaTIon for fIrsT Take-off
For a simpler and consistent explanation of steering, classic terminology is used here as well.
This comes from flight language and is widely used.
Direction descriptions are always to be interpreted from the perspective of a “virtual” pilot in the
model. The two red propellers are considered direction indicators. They mean “front”.
88005RC (mode 1) hover flight
Hovering denotes a flight status in which the “RC EYE One S” neither rises nor falls so that the upwards
directed uplift force is equal to the downwards directed weight. This is achieved about at the central
throttle position. Push the throttle lever (figure 1a) forward to increase the motor speed and lift up the
RC EYE One S. Pulling the throttle lever back causes the “RC EYE One S” to drop. Pulling the throttle lever
back all the way shuts off the engines.
During flight close above the ground and during take-off, turbulence and air flow can be
experienced which may affect the “RC EYE One S”. A quicker response to the controlling
motions and slight swerving of the “RC EYE One S” forwards, backwards or to the side may
result from this. This so-called ground effect is no longer present starting at a flight altitude of
about 50 cm.
