Arrows Vector Gyro Stabilization System

Revised 11/08/2021

The Arrows Vector is a standalone stabilization module (3-axis rate gyro with recovery

mode) that can be configured with most aircraft receivers. The Vector is installed in

many Arrows aircraft and is programmed specifically for each aircraft. No further

programming is needed. Using the Vector in an aircraft other than Arrows aircraft is at

the pilot’s discretion.

The Vector System has three available modes: Stability Mode (recovery mode),

where the plane rights itself by the pilot releasing the sticks; Off Mode (Vector

disengaged); and Optimized Mode (to smooth out flight in windy conditions).

Installation Instructions

When installing the Vector, it is placed lengthwise, with the wiring going to the receiver

pointed toward the nose of the aircraft, and with the Vector centered (front to back) in

the equipment area (under the wing) against the inside side where the fuselage side

intersects with the fuselage bottom. The unit must be secured to the plane, the gyro will

report nonsense information if it is rattling around the compartment. This is already

done for RTF versions.

Vector Input Wiring Configurations There are three possible Vector input wiring configurations for three receiver types: PPM (Futaba), PPM Sbus, and PWM “pulse width configuration” (Spektrum). Please refer to the wiring configuration for your application and observe proper connector polarity when plugging into the receiver.

It is important that the airplane is right-side up and stationary when the aircraft is powered up. That position will be recorded in the Vector as “Straight and Level” flight attitude, which determines flight recovery in Stability Mode and neutral attitude in Optimized Mode. You must have the plane right-side up level and stationary, every time you power up the plane.
