STEP 8: Range Test
A range test requires two people. One person is needed to operate the transmitter and the other is to
check and hold the Vector Kite™.
Hold the transmitter and have the other person walk about 100 steps away from the transmitter 1.
while holding the Vector Kite™. Make sure the person holding the kite has a firm grip on the
kite and does not come in contact with the propeller. We recommend firmly holding the rear of
the Propulsion Frame
Turn the transmitter on.
2.
Have the person plug in the battery to the Vector Kite™. 3.
Pull the throttle (left stick) all the way to the backward position. This will arm the throttle. 4.
Move the steering controls (right stick) and have the other person observe the Vector Kite™. 5.
Make sure the controls operate smoothly. Use the directions in the “CONTROL TEST” section
above to test the Vector Power Unit™. Make sure the gimbal moves up and down and from side
to side per the diagrams.
Signal to the other person you want to test the throttle.
6. SLIGHTLY move the throttle stick
forward and determine if the throttle is working properly.
If all works well, have the person bring the Vector Kite™ back to you to prepare for launch.
7.
If controls do not work after the range test, check all connections and batteries. Make sure you 8.
are using a fully charged battery for the Vector Kite™ and that you have fresh batteries in the
transmitter. Make sure the polarities of all the batteries in the transmitter are correct per the
instructions inside the battery hatch.

THE PERSON HOLDING THE VECTOR KITE SHOULD HAVE A FIRM GRIP ON THE KITE.

STEP 7: Field Conditions
IMPORTANT: ON YOUR FIRST FLIGHTS, CHOOSE A DAY WITH NO WIND. THE CALMER THE WIND THE
BETTER FOR LEARNING TO CONTROL YOUR VECTOR KITE. REMEMBER, FLYING IN WIND IS BY FAR THE
NUMBER ONE CAUSE FOR CRASHES FOR BEGINNER VECTOR KITE™ PILOTS.
IMPORTANT: CHOOSE A LARGE FIELD FOR YOUR FIRST FLIGHTS. THE FIELD SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM
OF 300 FEET IN ALL DIRECTIONS FROM THE PILOT.
IMPORTANT: NEVER FLY OVER OR NEAR PEOPLE, BUILDINGS, POWER LINES, HIGHWAYS, TRAIN
TRACKS, MOTOR VEHICLES, TREES, HARD SURFACES, WATER AND/OR ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD CRASH
INTO AND CAUSE HARM, INjURY OR DAMAGE TO YOU, YOUR VECTOR KITE™ AND/OR OTHERS. PLEASE
TAKE THIS WARNING SERIOUSLY.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY INDOORS, SUCH AS IN A GYM, UNTIL YOU HAVE FULLY MASTERED
CONTROL OF YOUR VECTOR KITE™. DO NOT FLY INDOORS WITH PEOPLE IN THE INDOOR AREA.
Although you are anxious to fly your Vector Kite™, it is important to wait for a calm day. 1.
Remember, Vector Kites™ are the “grandchildren” of traditional kites. They are still very much
affected by the wind. Wind is a variable you can do without while learning. For beginners,
it is the number one cause for crashes. Once you become familiar flying your Vector Kite™, a
little wind can be fun to play with but for initial training, pick a calm day. Grab some grass and
throw it in the air. The grass should almost drop straight to the ground. You should not feel
wind on any part of
your body. If you see
leaves moving in trees,
it is best to wait for
another day.
Pick a large field. You 2.
will want something
the size of a football
field or two soccer
fields. Make sure it
is free from obstacles
such as buildings or
trees. Do not fly near
people or vehicles.
