So this is just for my understanding since I haven't used a flyer before and I just picked up a Heldrake.
So I can Zoom onto the board turn 2 up to 36", vector strike, and then Baleflame something?

It's very similar to how the Valkyrie works. Though replace 'Vector Strike' with 'Miss and/or only kill two models 'cos those two Large Blast Templates fired by the Multi Rocket Pods that you thought were cool are in fact crap,' and replace 'Baleflame' with 'Gets shot, crashes.'
You see, very similar.

After Zooming I can only turn and move next turn 90 degrees and up to 36" again correct?

It's all quite clearly laid out in the rulebook. Look in the index under "Flyers" and read how they move/turn.

You choose Zooming or Hovering before you move the flyer each turn, so you could Zoom (90 degree pivot and 18"-36") one turn, then Hover the next turn (acts like Skimmer), then Zoom again the third turn.

One last thing that I just read with Vector Strike. Seems simple to me, but wanted to make sure that the hits from Vector Strike are D3 + 1 auto hits correct?

All of this is covered in the BRB and Chaos codex.

Just so you know, Dakka is not a substitute for the rulebook or codii. I don't mean to sound brusque with you, but please acquire them. Dakka can get into trouble if people just use it as a replacement

One thing to keep in mind, a zooming flyer's movement is 18" - 36", it does have a minimum as well as a maximum.
