Warnings and Safety Notes

Congratulations on purchasing Hitec's Vektor 280.

Be prepared to zip through the skies with swift, fearless

precision! Our high performance FPV racer features a

compact, integrated circuit board system for reduced

weight and a sturdy, quality-constructed carbon fiber

frame for durability and resilience.

280 takes flight in minutes and will have you speeding like

a superhero in a flash.

The Vektor 280 is not a toy and is not suitable for use by

children under the age of 14. Additionally, the Vektor 280

is a high performance FPV racing drone and requires some

skill to fly. If you have never flown an FPV racing drone, it is

recommended you seek out help before attempting to fly it

on your own.

WARNING: SPINNING PROPELLERS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS

INJURIES

It is recommended that you wait to install the propellers until

you are finished setting up your drone and are ready to fly.

is best to install your receiver in the front of the model

behind the camera.

• Connect the receiver to the flight controller using the

attached cables. The cables marked S are for S-bus

receivers and the numbered ones are for PWM. You

can remove the set of cables that you are not using.

Battery Installation

• Slide the battery into the battery compartment.

• Move the battery forwards or backwards so that the

balance of the drone is in the center.

• Secure the battery with the Velcro Strap.

• DO NOT PLUG IN THE BATTERY AT THIS TIME.

receivers on the market today, but you should check your receiver manual to be

sure it will work properly at this voltage.

CC3D Configuration

Flying the Vektor 280

Unlock/ Lock the Motors

WARNING: SPINNING PROPELLERS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS

INJURIES

It is recommended that you remove the propellers while you

are setting up your drone.

The flight controller must be configured to match your

receiver. The flight controller uses Open Pilot ground control

software. The open Pilot configuration suite is available for

download at www.openpilot.org. Follow the instructions in

the software to configure your flight controller.

WARNING: If you reset the CC3D flight controller, you will

need to go in and adjust the ROLL attitude. It must be set to

180 for proper operation.

• Turn on your transmitter and make sure all the trims

are in their neutral position, all the function switches

are in their off position and the throttle stick is in its

lowest position.

• Place the Vektor 280 on a flat surface and connect

the battery. You will hear a series of beeps as the

system initializes, once it stops you are ready to

take off.

Unlock the Motors: To lock the motors, push the stick down

and move the rudder to the right. The motor should now be

locked. You can test it by moving the throttle stick slowly up,

the motors should not start.

WARNING: SPINNING PROPELLERS CAN CAUSE

SERIOUS INJURIES

Locking the Motors: To lock the motors, push the stick down

and move the rudder to the right. The motor should now be

locked. You can test it by moving the throttle stick slowly up,

the motors should not start.

NOTE: The motors are locked by default once the battery is

unplugged and the system reinitialized.

Controlling the Vektor 280

Refer to the following to see how stick inputs affect the

movements of the drone.

monitor or goggles. Additionally, both devices must be set to

the same frequency. The following instructions describe how

to set the transmitting frequency on the Vektor 280.

A. Remove the 4 screws that attach the canopy to

the frame.

B. Remove the 8 screws that secure the top frame

C. Set the frequency using the frequency DIP switch

according to the frequency chart on the

D. Check to make sure that the equipment functions

properly and you can receive the images clearly.

E. Replace the top frame and reattach the canopy.

Using the Drone Finder Function

The Vektor 280 has a Drone Finder function that helps you

locateyourdroneshoulditgodowninanareawhereitcan’t

be seen. The following describes how that function is used.

NOTE: You need at least a 6 Channel radio and a receiver

with at least one available PWM channel to use this function.

This feature needs to be assigned to a channel other

than 1 – 5.

Plug the purple wire that is attached to the multi-function

board into an available PWM

channel on your receiver. When

the battery is plugged in, you turn

this channel on and the beeper will

beep, alerting you to the location

of the Vektor 280.

Using the Intelligent LED System

Low Battery Warning

The Vector 280 has a unique LED lighting system that allows

the user to customize the way the LEDs on the bottom of the

drone function. You can change the brightness as well as the

function of the LEDs.

There are 3 brightness

settings and 4 function

settings.

When the battery on the Vektor 280 gets low, the two low

battery warning LEDs on the back of the drone will begin to

flash.Thisindicatesit’stimetoendyourflightandland.
