RC Flight Instructions

Getting Started:

Your Vector Kite™ was purchased in one of two forms.  The first form is the 

RTF

 or 

“Ready to Fly”

 

version.  This version came complete with transmitter and receiver already installed.  The second form 
is the 

ARF

 version.  This is an 

“Almost Ready to Fly”

 version that has all components except for the 

transmitter and receiver.  The ARF version is “receiver ready” and allows the hobbyist to install his or 
her transmitter/receiver combination of choice.

If you have an RTF version please read the RTF section below.

If you have an ARF version, please install your receiver to the Vector Power Unit™ and go directly to 
the “STEP 3: Control Test” section.  Please note on ARF versions you may wish to add a small patch of 
Velcro on your receiver to make it easy to attach to the Vector Power Frame.
