FAQ

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• The plane is beeping after a crash or landing and no longer responds to the remote.
• Remote beeps multiple times during the flight.
• The plane cannot maintain altitude or control properly.
• Remote does not connect to the plane or beeps intermittently.
• The plane bounces around during take-off or does not respond to remote signals.

If you encounter any issues, follow these steps:

• Turn off both the remote and plane, then turn them back on to restore normal controls.
• If flying out of range, turn back immediately to prevent losing the remote connection.
• If the plane has flown out of range, it will auto-land for safety and start beeping to help you locate it.
• If the plane battery is low, recharge it to full power.
• If remote batteries are low, replace them with fresh ones.
• If take-off fails, ensure a smooth surface or use a fully charged battery for runway take-off.

CHARGING PLANE BATTERY

• Remove the battery from a plane and attach it to the charging cable. (Use included cable only)
• Once charged, disconnect the battery from the cable and reattach it to a plane. Tuck back into place and secure the door with the screw. The remote will beep 1x every couple of seconds when the LiPo battery runs low

FLY MORE!

• Why wait for your battery to recharge? Increase your flight time with an extra battery on standby! (Sold separately).
• Sky Viper 500mAh LiPo battery recommended, or comparable 3.7V LiPo battery with JST connector plug.

REMOTE BATTERIES

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

LANDING GEAR INSTALLATION

• The 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 the wheel pointing forward. The back wheels should point outward

INSPECTING AND REPLACING DAMAGED PROPS

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

IMPACT RESISTANT DESIGN

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

• A plane is beeping after a crash or landing and no longer responds to remote
  • Turn the plane off then on again to deactivate crash detection (auto-beep) and restore normal plane controls.

FLYING VECTOR STUNT PLANE

ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED

• Adequate flying space is required. Keep a safe distance away from streets, public thoroughfares, and power lines.
• Never attempt to retrieve a plane from any location that poses a safety hazard.
• Never fly the plane at night. Keep the plane in sight at all times during operation.

• OPTIONAL: The throttle stick is also capable of applying left and right turning force during flight. Most pilots, however, may prefer using only the direction stick for making turns.

SMOOTH SURFACE TAKE-OFF

• Place the plane on a smooth flat surface with at least 30 ft (10 m) of room for take-off.
• Push full to build speed then full to take off

LANDING

• Throttle back slightly to slowly descend. As the plane nears the ground, throttle back a little more to create a stalling effect for a softer landing.

LAUNCHING BY HAND

• Hold the remote with your left hand, and Hold the plane in your right hand, gripping the underside near the LED light.
• Point plane forward and away from you.
• Toss and release the plane slightly up and forward, then immediately push the throttle forward fully to complete launch.
• WARNING: Push the throttle forward immediately after release, but NOT BEFORE, to avoid possible injury to the back of the hand from spinning props.

PERFORMING AEROBATIC STUNTS

UPWARD LOOP

• Tap the stunt button then quickly pull the direction back to pull up.
• The plane will climb and auto-complete an upward loop.
• Ensure the plane is flying high enough to safely complete maneuvers.

LEFT OR RIGHT BARREL ROLL

• Tap the stunt button then quickly push the direction left or the direction right. The plane will roll in the corresponding direction and auto-complete a barrel roll.

FIND MY PLANE / AUDIO TRACEF

• Remote will beep 5x quickly when you’re in danger of flying out of range, allowing time to turn back before losing connection.
• If the plane flies out of range, the remote will continue beeping and the plane will auto-land in a radial descent.
• An audio tracer will turn on and the plane will start beeping to help you find it. Turn the plane off and on again to deactivate the audio tracer.
• The audio tracer can be toggled on and off with the stunt button when the plane is not flying.
