SAFETY WARNING

Please read these before operating your Sky Vector

General

• Do not y your airplane if other models on the same frequency are being operated

in the area.

• Do not attempt to disassemble any of the airplane’s components or allow them to get

wet or electrical damage may occur.

• Never y your airplane from roadways or after dark.

• Fly in wide-open areas free from obstructions such as trees or telephone poles and

wires.

• When operating/ying always be aware of spinning propellers being careful not to let

them come close to your person, others and loose clothing. Keep spectators behind

you when ying.

• Since your airplane is controlled by a radio link it is very important to always use fresh

dry cell batteries in the transmitter.

• Before ying make sure you perform a range check maintaining control at least 25-feet

from transmitter to model with the transmitter antenna collapsed.

• No solvents or liquid cleaners should be used to clean this model. Doing so may

damage the plane. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.

Batteries

• Never leave the ight pack battery unattended while charging. Constant monitoring is

required while charging ight pack battery. Only charge the ight pack battery until it

becomes warm, not too hot

• To prevent ight pack battery from overheating damage, allow the pack to completely

cool after each ight before recharging.

Radio

• Safe radio operation tip. The transmitter should always be the rst thing on—and

the last thing off.

• The transmitter’s antenna must be fully extended for optimum radio link during ight.

• The ight pack battery should never be left in the model while not in use.

• Do not trim the airplanes antenna, it is cut to a specic frequency length and to do so

would drastically affect radio range.

• Never-never-never-never-never disassemble any of the radio components or expose

them to moisture.

1. Getting Acquainted with your Sky Vector

• First make sure the contents of your package are complete:

1. Sky Vector Fuselage

2. Main Wing

3. Transmitter

4. Transmitter antenna

5. Battery

6. Charger

7. Wing Detection Ribbon

8. Wing Bands

9. V-tail Assembly

10. Propeller

11. Spare propellers

12. Battery Hatch

13. Motor Start Button

2. Installing the Transmitter Batteries

Caution: Make sure not to mix old and new batteries.

Only use fresh alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries in

the transmitter to assure best radio signal link.

• The transmitter uses 8 “AA” batteries

• Remove the battery compartment hatch on the back of

the transmitter

• Install the 8 fresh “AA” alkaline batteries paying careful

attention to proper “+” and “-“ polarity

• Slide the battery hatch cover back into place until it locks

• Turn your tranmitter on by sliding the “on”switch on the front of the transmitter. Both

the green and red lights on your transmitter should be illuminated. If they are not,

make sure you are using all fresh alkaline batteries and recheck that the batteries

have been inserted using the proper polarity. If you still

have problems contact Megatech. DO NOT ATTEMPT

TO FIX THE TRANSMITTER ON YOUR OWN.

3. Charging the Flight Pack Battery

• We use the latest NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride) technology

available. The characteristics of these batteries are such

that they do not come up to full potential until they have

gone through 3 or 4 charge and discharge cycles. After that, you should be attaining

full ight duration times.

NEVER LEAVE A CHARGING BATTERY UNATTENDED!! Always let the ight pack

cool before recharging.

• Connect the battery to the wall charger.

• Note: Only use a charger that is approved for use with this battery

• Plug the charger into an electrical outlet

• Children must have parental supervision during the charging process

• Charge the battery for 1-2 hours.

• Always monitor the charging process. The ight pack should become good and

warm but do not let it become extremely hot! DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE

BATTERY. Use extra caution when touching the battery because it may become

very hot.

4. Attaching the Main Wing

• Place the main wing onto the fuselage with the polyhedral design curving upwards

and wingtips pointing towards the v-tail.

• Make sure the small arrows imprinted into the wing are centered over the fuselage

• Wrap the Wing Bands around the fuselage and the wing in an “X” pattern and then

a “II” pattern as shown

5. Installing the Flight Pack into the Fuselage

• Open the battery hatch on the front of the Sky Vector

fuselage

• Make sure to leave all foam pieces inside the fuselage,

this ensures proper placement of the ight pack

• Place battery into fuselage with the wide section of the

battery towards the front as shown

• Attach the battery connector with the connector inside

the fuselage

• Close battery hatch cover when done

6. Pre-ight Test

• First make sure both trim tabs on your transmitter are centered

• Turn on your transmitter rst, then install a charged battery into your plane.

• Holding your plane in one hand, with your ngers and loose objects away from the

propeller, move the right control stick of your transmitter all the way to the right

a. The right side of the v-tail should go down while the left side goes up.

b. Now try moving the right control stick all the way to the left. The opposite

function should occur.

• Now press the Motor Start Button on the side of the fuselage. The motor should

not start until this safety switch is pushed. Now push the left control stick forward.

The propeller should spin rapidly and stop when the control stick is back in its

neutral state

Caution: Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from the propeller!

7. Flying your Sky Vector

• Always y your airplane in a nice open area free from wires, trees, and other

obstructions. For your rst ight, pick a day with little or no wind. Do not y in heavy

winds or rainy weather

• Always fully extend your antenna and turn the transmitter on rst then install the ight

pack. Make sure both lights on your transmitter are illuminated. If the green light goes

dark, your transmitter batteries are low. You should land your plane and change them

right away.

• Attach your Wind Indicator Ribbon to the end of your transmitter antenna to determine

the direction of the wind. Make sure the transmitter antenna is fully extended for

maximum radio link. Always launch your airplane into the wind.

• Push the red Start Button the the side of the fuselage and push the left control stick

completely forward. Toss the plane into the wind, ensuring the plane is level with the

control stick right control stick left

horizon. If the plane is tilted upwards or downward, your launch may not be successful.

• Allow the model to climb to a safe altitude (50-75 feet) before attempting turns. You

do not want the airplane to get too far away from you so once it is at a safe altitude

move the right control stick gently in the direction you wish to turn. Once it has turned

towards the direction you want, release the right control stick

• If you begin to gain too much altitude, release the left control stick and let the Sky

Vector glide to a more comfortable level. When the model gets too low to the ground,

add motor thrust by pushing the left control stick forwards.

Important Tip! When the airplane is coming towards you, the controls are reversed.

(moving the stick left will make the model turn to your right) This is the most important

thing to get used to. Try to imagine you are actually sitting in the model’s cockpit will

help you.

• Do not panic if you feel you begin to spin or make erratic movements with the plane,

simply release both control sticks and the Sky Vector’s Self-Righting Mechanism

kicks in and in a few seconds you will return to a steady glide.

8. Landing

• Always try to land into the wind keeping the wingtips as level as possible

• Setup for a landing by making a gentle shallow turn until the airplane is facing into

the wind

• When the airplane is level and facing into the wind, release both control sticks and the

plane will descend to the ground.

• If slight corrections are needed as the airplane makes its way to the ground, move

the right control stick in the appropriate direction but only for a moment so as to keep

the airplane descending on a straight heading. Over controlling will put the airplane

into another turn which can make it crash if you are too close to the ground. Keep the

model ying straight until it lands safely

Helpful Tip

• If the main wing on your Sky Vector gets damaged, simply apply clear packing tape

to the affected area.
