PRO TIPS

Overall the folks at RC Logger did a

great job, however I can offer a few sug-

gestions:

• The center of the chassis bows up

slightly and the circuit boards tend to

rock on it making it somewhat difficult to

keep all three boards in their slots when

screwing the top and bottom chassis

parts together. I found it helpful to loose-

ly screw the top and bottom chassis parts

together before lining up the circuit

boards in their respective slots.

• Perform the entire setup prior to

installing the propellers. This eliminates

any possibility of injuring yourself up

should the motors decide to come to life.

• When installing the propellers, DO

NOT over tighten them. Doing so will

pull the motor shaft up against the motor

bearing and cause it to bind. Do I need to

tell you how I know this?

SETUP

Setup couldn’t be easier. No special

radio programming is necessary as the

RC Eye 650 flies with a basic four chan-

nel controller. There’s a bank of DIP

switches on the controller board, and

one of those switches places the con-

troller in setup mode. You then switch

on the transmitter, connect the flight bat-

tery, and in order are instructed to move

each of the four transmitter controls

(throttle, yaw, pitch, and roll) in a specif-

ic direction. This allows the controller to

figure out which channel is being used

for a given function and also lets it deter-

mine control direction. How cool is that?

Your transmitter doesn’t even need to

have channel reversing! As you go

through this setup process, an LED on

the controller board confirms when each

step is successfully completed.

Another group of switches configure the

flight mode. There are three available

modes; ‘beginner’, ‘sport’, and ‘user’. The

beginner mode reduces rates on the three

flight control axes, with the default user

mode settings identical to this mode.

However, in order to change the user mode

settings you need to connect the controller

to a PC and use an optional software pack-

age. I selected user mode because of the

availability of an additional function when

using this mode. Called the ‘agility’ func-

tion, it can be switched on or off via a

switch on your transmitter and effectively

puts the yaw axis in heading hold mode

when on.

With the setup complete, I verified prop-

er motor operation and installed the pro-

pellers. All that remained was to snap on

some plastic caps below the motors, install a

freshly charged flight battery, and install the

top cover with rubber bands. The RC Eye

650 was ready to fly!

CONCLUSION

I’ve always wanted to try a quadcopter, and

having the opportunity to review the RC

Eye 650 was of course met with great enthu-

siasm. As it played out, this machine is not

only a blast to fly, but I can see assuming an

important role in future reviews. Given its

extremely stable and predictable flight per-

formance, I plan on using it to get some nice

aerial footage at the flying field.

There are perhaps some less expensive

ways to get your feet wet with quads, but I

seriously doubt you’ll get any closer to a

fool-proof experience then you will with the

RC Eye 650. =

AIRBORNE

Having never flown a quadcopter

before, I didn’t know what to

expect. The manual recommends

flying indoors or outdoors in very

light wind conditions, and fortu-

nately for me we were having

some very pleasant unseasonable

weather here in Long Island. So

out I went.

Moving the throttle stick to

low throttle and the rudder stick

to full left starts the motors spin-

ning. The first thing I noticed was

how quiet the machine is. As I

slowly advanced the throttle, I

watched the copter climb into a

remarkably stable hover. The rud-

der, elevator, and aileron control

behavior were very docile and I found myself quickly slipping into my comfort zone. I was flying fig-

ure eight circuits in no time.

The only potential issue I can foresee has to do with visual orientation. My concern is that the

front of the copter is only identified by a red strap in close to the chassis on the front motor boom

and a one inch piece of red silicon tubing slid over the front portion of both landing skids. I’m guess-

ing this may be a little difficult to see should the machine be flown out to an appreciable distance.
