4 Mounting the Vector and Accessories

4.1 Mounting the Vector

4.1.1 Mounting Location and Orientation

Mount the Vector flat and level with the label facing toward the sky and the red arrow on the Vector case facing
toward the nose of your model (the direction of forward travel).
The Vector should be mounted as near to the model's Center of Gravity (CG) as practical. Ideally, the Vector
will be mounted with the mark shown in section 3.1 (just behind the red arrow) directly above your model's
CG. However, precise centering may not be critical.

4.1.2 Mounting Technique

The Vector should be firmly and securely mounted to your model, so it won't come loose or vibrate. The best
way to mount it is to use double sided, closed cell (solid, gum like) foam tape. A great choice is Scotch/3M
indoor-outdoor tape, model 411-DC, but there are many good options.
If the Vector is not mounted correctly, or if it comes loose during flight, your model may become
uncontrollable and crash!
It is recommended to do a "test fit" of all your model's wiring and components before permanently
mounting the Vector.
When removing the Vector from mounting tape, twist the Vector rather than trying to pull the Vector
up. It's easier that way .
Try to mount the Vector and other components so that the USB connection is easily accessible.
is not possible, USB extender cables are available at many FPV shops.
