RC Flight Instructions
Getting Started:
Your Vector Powered Kite is composed of three main components:
The Vector Ready Kite1.
The Vector Power Unit2.
The Transmitter/Receiver3.
The Vector Ready Kite (VR) is a high quality aircraft that is built with rip-stop nylon sails, carbon
and/or fiberglass framing material. A Vector Ready (VR) kite also includes specially built framework
to receive the Vector Power Unit. This framework also includes provisions to mount the LiPo battery
pack. The Vector Ready Kite includes a high quality case to store your kite and motor mounting
framework. It is best to store your Vector Kite in this case and keep it in a cool dry place. The case
will protect your kite from unnecessary harmful UV and dust.
The Vector Power Unit is what powers and controls your Vector Kite. This unit is purchased with
a foam protection jacket, battery, battery charger, battery power supply, propeller, prop-saver and
spare propeller and instruction manual. Although you may be tempted to store your Vector Power
Unit in your kite case, we recommend you store it wrapped in the protective foam jacket and in
your field bag. The servos, linkages, ESC and motor are delicate components that should not be
compressed or treated roughly. The Vector Power Unit can also be purchased separately without
accessories such as the battery, charger and field bag.
The Transmitter/Receiver is what links the pilot to the Vector Kite. Premier RC offers a very simple
Transmitter/Receiver package for beginners to get started. This transmitter is limited to about five
to ten pilots with the same unit flying at the same time. Many hobbyists are flying Vector Kites
using transmitters and receivers of their choice. There are many fine brands of transmitter/receiver
products available and Premier RC encourages pilots to use the brand they are most comfortable
with. Many of these transmitters have much greater capacity to handle interference when flown with
other transmitters. Some transmitters also offer helpful programming options that may enhance the
flying experience. Fortunately, a basic Vector Kite set-up only requires three channels: THROTTLE
(proportional), LEFT-RIGHT servo (typically elevator) and an UP-DOWN servo (typically aileron). Of
course, other channels on more sophisticated transmitters may be incorporated to operate cameras,
lights, parachutes or “candy” drops or other ideas left up to the imagination of the modeler.
