12PowerUnitGetting Started:<strong>RC</strong> Flight InstructionsYour Vector Powered Kite is composed of three main components:1.2.3.The Vector Ready KiteThe Vector Power UnitThe Transmitter/ReceiverBattery ExtensionCableSlide Power Unit all the way into the front of the Motor Mount Frame.The Vector Ready Kite (VR) is a high quality aircraft that is built with rip-stop nylon sails, carbonand/or fiberglass framing material. A Vector Ready (VR) kite also includes specially built frameworkto receive the Vector Power Unit. This framework also includes provisions to mount the LiPo batterypack. The Vector Ready Kite includes a high quality case to store your kite and motor mountingframework. It is best to store your Vector Kite in this case and keep it in a cool dry place. The casewill 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 witha foam protection jacket, battery, battery charger, battery power supply, propeller, prop-saver andspare propeller and instruction manual. Although you may be tempted to store your Vector PowerUnit in your kite case, we recommend you store it wrapped in the protective foam jacket and inyour field bag. The servos, linkages, ESC and motor are delicate components that should not becompressed or treated roughly. The Vector Power Unit can also be purchased separately withoutaccessories such as the battery, charger and field bag.13BungeeBungeeThe Transmitter/Receiver is what links the pilot to the Vector Kite. <strong>Premier</strong> <strong>RC</strong> offers a very simpleTransmitter/Receiver package for beginners to get started. This transmitter is limited to about fiveto ten pilots with the same unit flying at the same time. Many hobbyists are flying Vector Kitesusing transmitters and receivers of their choice. There are many fine brands of transmitter/receiverproducts available and <strong>Premier</strong> <strong>RC</strong> encourages pilots to use the brand they are most comfortablewith. Many of these transmitters have much greater capacity to handle interference when flown withother transmitters. Some transmitters also offer helpful programming options that may enhance theflying 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). Ofcourse, 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.BungeeSide viewStretch Bungee on Power Unit around hook on Motor Mount Frame.There is also a bungee on the motor mount frame which connects to a hookon the motor mount frame extension.10 11
