3.5.7 Connecting Receiver and Servos/ESCs to the Vector
First, connect your ESC or servo wires to the Vector output ports without powering the Vector, to make sure
they reach the desired Vector mounting location. Then disconnect them before proceeding to the configuration
section.
Never connect ESCs or servos to the Vector servo outputs until you have verified the Vector airframe
type is correctly selected! If a fixed wing airframe type is selected with a multirotor, the propellers can
spin uncontrollably at high speed at power-up! Likewise, if a multrotor airframe type is selected with fixed
wing, the servos can be pushed beyond their endpoints and be destroyed!
The figure below shows the supported airframe types. For each airframe, the arrow indicates the direction of
forward travel, which corresponds to the forward direction of the arrow on the Vector label when the Vector is
mounted correctly.
If you have dedicated flaps, they do not connect to the Vector. Connect the flaps directly to your receiver
channel that is controlled by the desired flap switch.
For the multirotor airframe types, the numbers in the figure correspond to the motor numbers on the Vector
servo connector label (1 = M1, etc.). For quadcopters and hexacopters the curved arrows indicate the correct
motor rotation.
For tricopters, the motor rotation directions are arbitrary. Also, the yaw servo MUST be digital!
Tricopter rudder control of the yaw servo is initially disabled when the throttle is at its off position. In
order to test yaw, you will need to increase the throttle stick slightly with the system disarmed.
For Hexacopter Y6 and IY6, the blue motors in the figures below are ON TOP.
