Ultralight News is a directory of aircraft that generally fit
into what are described as ultralight aircraft, advanced ultralight
aircraft,
ultralite aircraft, ultralight planes, experimental
aircraft, amateur built aircraft, or homebuilt
or kit built aircraft in the United States and Canada. These include weight shift aircraft, more commonly known as microlight trikes, powered parachutes, and powered para-gliders.

Vector 610
ultralight, ultra lite aircraft, amateur built, experimental,
homebuilt aircraft.
|
|
Like its
predecessor the 600, the Vector 610 is an
upright V-tail, high-wing monoplane with
double surface wings supported by
kingpost-and-cable bracing. A coordinated
control stick activates ruddervators and
spoilerons for full three-axis aerodynamic
control. |
The 242cc,
22hp, single-cylinder Zenoah G25B-1 engine
is front-mounted on the keel and provides
power through a 2.33-to-1 reduction and
drive shaft to a 42-inch by 24-inch cherry
wood prop. The frame is made of 6061-T6
anodized aluminum with 3/32"
7 x 7 stainless steel cable rigging. Wing
cloth is 3.9 oz Dacron.
Design refinements to the Vector 610 include
an improved wing that gives better low end
performance and a 3 mph drop in stall speed,
stronger hardware and a bungee cord
suspension on the tricycle landing gear, a
Fisher tuned exhaust system that adds 3hp
and decreases noise level, an enlarged pilot
cage, and an optional steerable nosewheel.

The high
performance 610 wing is washed out three
degrees at the tips. This decreases the
angle of attack of the wings near the tips
and as the 610 approaches stall, the tips
stall after the rest of the wing,
stabilizing the airplane as it enters the
stall and simplifying stall recovery.
Additional aluminum battens are inserted
i
Options for the Vector
610 include custom sails, cross-country
wheel kit, prop protection kit, cover bags,
floats, airborne restart, CHT, tachometer,
airspeed indicator, and a spare parts kit
which contains parts that are most likely to
be lost or damaged.
Kits took approximately 30
hours to assemble.
The Vector owner's manual includes basic
information on how to fly safely,
micrometeorology, and the sections of FAR
Part 91 that apply to ultralight operations. |
