Sky Viper 500mAh LiPo battery recommended, or comparable 3.7V LiPo battery with JST connector plug

FLY MORE! REMOTE BATTERIES

Insert batteries as shown. Replace door and secure with screw. Remote will beep 2x every couple seconds when batteries run low and need to be replaced.

LANDING GEAR INSTALLATION

Landing gear is recommended when landing on concrete or other smooth paved surfaces to avoid damage.

Firmly insert wheels into slots as shown, ensuring that the longer wheel is inserted in front, with wheel pointing forward. Back wheels should point outward.

INSPECTING AND REPLACING DAMAGED PROPS

For best performance, periodically inspect prop blades for damage or debris wrapped around motor shaft. If damaged, firmly hold motor housing and pull damaged blade from shaft. Make note of A or B marking on prop and replace with corresponding new prop.

IMPACT RESISTANT DESIGN

Vector is designed to take the abuse of learning to fly. However, if plane is damaged from severe impact or rough extended use, it can likely be sufficiently repaired with the included mending tape.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Plane is beeping after crash or landing and no longer responds to remote.
• Remote beeps 5x quickly during flight, while plane is far away.
• Remote beeps 5x quickly during flight, and plane starts radial descent.
• Plane cannot maintain altitude and drifts to ground
• Plane LED is flashing.
• Remote starts to beep 1x every couple seconds.
• Remote beeps 2x every couple seconds and/or doesn’t connect to plane.
• Plane bounces around or flips over when attempting runway take-off.
• Plane does not respond to remote

• Plane has flown out of range. Plane auto-lands for safety and starts auto-beeping to help you locate it.
• Plane battery is running low. Recharge LiPo battery to full power.
• Remote batteries are running low. Replace with fresh batteries.
• Take-off surface may be too bumpy or plane battery may no longer have enough power to complete a runway take-off. Try again with a freshly charged battery, or launch by hand instead.
