Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone

®

 Vapor

 RTF  

airplane. ParkZone’s Etomic

 family of innovative ultra-micro flyers 

makes micro flight a reality for everyone. Proportional, multi-channel, 

2.4GHz radio technology provides precise control for amazing, ready-

to-fly indoor fun. Your Vapor comes pre-assembled with everything 

needed to get you in the air—all in one box.  You only need to charge 

the flight battery prior to your first flight. In as little as 30 minutes, you 

can be flying. This means you can spend your time refining your flying 

skills instead of your building skills. Your ParkZone Vapor will allow you 

to perform many aerobatic maneuvers, all in an area the size of your 

living room!

We at ParkZone are committed to giving you the most enjoyable  

flight experience possible. In order to have a safe and successful 

flight, we ask that you do not fly until you have read these instructions 

thoroughly.

Your Vapor features the latest in ultra submicro technology,  

including a 2.4GHz DSM2

 fully proportional 4+ channel transmitter 

and 3-channel receiver with full control of throttle, rudder and  

elevator. Your Vapor also comes complete with the latest in  

lightweight electronic speed control technology, two linear servos, a 

3.7V 70mAh Li-Po flight battery and a convenient charger.
