WARNINGS AND SAFETY:
In all your flight endeavors, safety must come first!
Please read your instructions and all
warnings carefully. Your Vector Kite™ is capable of creating serious injury to you and others if you do
not read and follow the warnings and directions carefully.
Your Vector Kite™ is not a toy. It should only be flown by adults or under strict adult supervision for
ages 15 and under.
Keep the propeller away from all parts of your body. Keep the propeller away from all parts of your
body even if it is not spinning! Do not let hair or loose clothing get close to the propeller especially
during launch because entanglement could cause injury.
Do not fly your Vector Kite™ in windy conditions. In windy conditions it is very possible to loose
control of your Vector Kite™ and cause serious injury.
Never fly your Vector Kite™ near or over people, highways, roads, houses, buildings, vehicles, train
tracks, power lines, hard surfaces, water or trees.
Never attempt to catch a Vector Kite™ while flying or landing because both the spinning propeller and
moving kite could cause injury.
Use only a battery charger intended for the Lithium Polymer batteries that come with the Vector
Power Unit™.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER
leave the charger unattended while charging the battery.
ALWAYS
place the battery and charger on a fireproof surface such as in a ceramic or metal pot and on
a concrete surface. The potential for a damaged, defective or improperly charged battery to catch fire
is very real.
Never cut into a battery. Never use a battery that looks damaged from a crash. Never use a battery
that looks swollen. Do not use a battery that has damage to the wire insulation. Never intentionally
short circuit a battery.
READ ALL BATTERY WARNINGS STATED EARLIER IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Always hold a Vector Kite™ firmly when the battery is plugged into the Vector Power Unit™ to keep
body parts away from the propeller.
Always turn the transmitter on first before plugging in the Vector Power Unit™.
Always unplug the Vector Power Unit™ first before turning off the transmitter.
Please use common sense. Fly Safe.
STEP 14: Center of Gravity Adjustments
Your Vector Power Unit™ is equipped with a unique Velcro panel that allows minor adjustments
1.
to the center of gravity of your kite.
For your first flights, simply place the battery in the middle of the panel.
2.
If you would like to make your Vector Kite™ more nose heavy, move the battery toward the front
3.
of the power unit. Usually a heavier nose is best if the pilot is encountering a slight breeze.
If you would like to make your Vector Kite™ more “stalled” or tail heavy, move the battery
4.
toward the back of the power unit. Sometimes very advanced pilots will fly a little stalled while
attempting very slow flight indoors or in zero wind conditions.
STEP 15: Crash Repair
Your Vector Kite™ is much more resilient to crash damage than traditional RC aircraft. The carbon
rods, fittings and rip-stop fabric are very durable and have a lot of “give” on most impacts.
Nevertheless, as with all things piloted by man, crashes do occur and some damage can result.
