of travel in both axes, the "Prandtl" design of the tube will compensate somewhat for higher angles of
attack.
2) The static holes on the pitot tube (shown in the figure) should extend at least 1/2" (13mm) past the wing's
leading edge or the nose cone, or past any other obstructions - the farther out, the better.
ensure that the static holes and pitot pickup are in undisturbed air.
3) For prop planes, it's important that the tube be placed so that it is not directly in the plane's prop-wash,
which will result in erroneous readings. The best place to install the tube is on the leading edge of the wing
several inches out from the fuselage, as shown in the figure.
4) For jets, gliders, or "pusher" prop planes, the nose cone often provides a perfect mounting location.
After pitot tube installation, it is recommended that you glue or otherwise attach the silicon hose to the
airframe, to reduce the chance that hose vibration or movement which could cause erroneous readings.
Note: the pitot airspeed can be calibrated as described in the "Pitot Airspeed Calibration" section.

4.5 Controlling the Vector

The Vector is controlled and optionally configured with the following radio switch
inputs:

4.5.1 The Mode Switch

The Mode switch (a 2 or 3 position switch on your radio that is mapped to the "Mod" input of the receiver
harness, or mapped to an SPPM or S.BUS™ channel) is the primary way that you communicate with the Vector
via your radio.
The mode switch serves two purposes:
1) The position of the switch determines the Vector's present flight mode
2) Toggling the switch (rapid back and forth movement of the switch) invokes the Vector menu system, letting
you configure the Vector via your radio sticks, and performs other operations based on the number of
toggles:

One Toggle: switches OSD screens to the next screen (if multiple screens are configured), and serves as
an "OK" switch during menus

Two to Four Toggles: initiates menu mode

Five to Six Toggles: initiates the Vector leveling procedure.

Seven to Nine Toggles: starts the compass calibration procedure.

Ten or more Toggles: resets GPS home position (when not flying)

4.5.2 The Submode Switch

The Submode switch is an optional 2 or 3 position switch on your radio, which allows selection of additional
flight modes. This switch is useful if you need to utilize more than 3 flight modes, which is the limit when using
just the Mode switch.
The Submode function can be mapped to the "Aux" input of the receiver harness, or to an SPPM or S.BUS™
channel.
