Sky Viper Vector: Initial Set-Up & Maintenance

Charging Plane Battery

Remove the LiPo battery from the plane and attach it to the charging cable. Use only the included cable. A 5V, 2A adapter is recommended (sold separately). The charging indicator light is RED when charging and GREEN when fully charged. Once charged, disconnect the battery from the cable and reattach it to the plane. Tuck the battery back into the plane and secure the door with a screw. The remote will beep once every few seconds when the LiPo battery runs low.

Remote Batteries

Insert 3x AAA (LR 03) 1.5V batteries (not included) as shown. Replace the door and secure it with a screw. The remote will beep twice every few seconds when the batteries run low and need to be replaced.

Landing Gear Installation

Landing gear is recommended for landing on concrete or other smooth paved surfaces to avoid damage. Firmly insert the wheels into the slots as shown, ensuring the longer wheel is inserted in front with the wheel pointing forward. The back wheels should point outward.

Inspecting and Replacing Damaged Props

For optimal performance, periodically inspect prop blades for damage or debris. If a prop is damaged, firmly hold the motor housing and pull the damaged blade from the shaft. Note the 'A' or 'B' marking on the prop and replace it with the corresponding new prop.

Impact Resistant Design

The Vector is designed to withstand the rigors of learning to fly. If the plane is damaged from a severe impact or extended rough use, it can likely be repaired with the included mending tape.

Troubleshooting

• Plane beeping after crash or landing and no longer responds to remote: Turn the plane off and then on again to deactivate crash detection (auto-beep) and restore normal plane controls.
• Remote beeps 5x quickly during flight, while plane is far away: You are in danger of flying out of range. Turn back immediately to prevent losing remote connection.
• Remote beeps 5x quickly during flight, and plane starts radial descent: The plane has flown out of range. The plane auto-lands for safety and starts auto-beeping to help you locate it.
• Plane cannot maintain altitude and drifts to ground: The plane battery is running low. Recharge the LiPo battery to full power.
• Plane LED is flashing: Remote batteries are running low. Replace with fresh batteries.
• Remote starts to beep 1x every couple seconds: Plane battery is running low. Recharge LiPo battery to full power.
• Remote beeps 2x every couple seconds and/or doesn't connect to plane: Take-off surface may be too bumpy or the 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.
• Plane bounces around or flips over when attempting runway take-off: Turn off both remote and plane. Unplug and re-attach the plane battery. Ensure remote batteries are new and the plane battery is fully charged, then reattempt flight.
• Plane does not respond to remote: Turn off both remote and plane. Unplug and re-attach the plane battery. Ensure remote batteries are new and the plane battery is fully charged, then reattempt flight.
• Plane starts to fly erratically or becomes difficult to control: Turn off both remote and plane. Unplug and re-attach the plane battery. Ensure remote batteries are new and the plane battery is fully charged, then reattempt flight.

Flying Vector Stunt Plane

Adult Supervision Required

Adequate flying space is required. Keep a safe distance from streets, public thoroughfares, and power lines. Never attempt to retrieve the plane from a hazardous location. Never fly the plane at night. Keep the plane in sight at all times during operation. Discontinue operation immediately if the plane flies out of your field of view.

Turning On Power

Ensure plane batteries are fully charged and the remote has fresh batteries installed. Press and hold the remote button for 1 second to turn it on or off. Slide the plane button forward to turn it on and back to turn it off.

Understanding Flight Controls

Sky Viper flight software helps compensate for wind, but manual compensation is normal during flight. For best performance, avoid flying in windy conditions.

• Throttle Stick: Push throttle forward to go faster; pull throttle back to go slower. Pull throttle back fully to cut power to motors.
• Direction Stick: Push direction forward to dive down; pull direction back to pull up. Push direction left to bank left; push direction right to bank right.

Optional: The throttle stick can also apply left and right turning force during flight. Most pilots prefer using the direction stick for 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 the throttle forward fully to build speed, then push the direction stick fully back to take off.

Launching by Hand

Hold the remote with your left hand, with the throttle back and motors off. Hold the plane in your right hand, gripping the underside near the LED light. Point the plane forward and away from you.

1. Toss and release the plane slightly up and forward.
2. Immediately push the throttle forward fully to complete the launch.

WARNING: Push the throttle forward immediately after release, but NOT BEFORE, to avoid possible injury to the back of your hand from spinning props.

Landing

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

Performing Aerobatic Stunts

• Upward Loop: Tap the stunt button, then quickly pull the direction stick back. The plane will climb and automatically complete an upward loop. Ensure the plane is flying high enough to safely complete the maneuver.
• Left or Right Barrel Roll: Tap the stunt button, then quickly push the direction stick left or right. The plane will roll in the corresponding direction and automatically complete a barrel roll. Ensure the plane is flying high enough to safely complete the maneuver.

Find My Plane / Audio Tracer

The remote will beep 5x quickly when you are 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. The 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.
