Propeller Power Button Li-Poly Battery Camera Safety Guard CONTROLLER DIAGRAM Speed Setting Button 360 Stunt Rolls Button FLIGHT PREPARATION Verify that there are 3 AAA batteries inside the remote control unit and the VA-1000 battery has been fully charged. Make sure to be in a large open space preferably a field or a park with an open radius of at least 200 feet. Make sure to start your drone on a clean flat level surface before take-off. IMPORTANT! Until you have experience in flying your VA-1000, it is not advised to use in any rate of wind. Pick a day with zero wind or extremely light wind condition when learning how to fly. SYNCING YOUR VA-1000 Important! When syncing your VA-1000 with the controller always make sure that the drone is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. 1. Before starting, make sure that the power on your controller is off and the battery is removed from the VA-1000. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area. 2. Insert the battery into the VA-1000 and set it down on a flat level surface. Press down the power button and hold for a few seconds (see diagram F).The LED lights on the drone should begin to flash. 3. Quickly turn ON the remote and you will notice that the top red LED light on the face of the controller. 4. Push the throttle stick all the way up until it stops and then pull it back all the way down to the bottom(see diagram below). When pushing the stick up or pulling the stick down you should hear a high-pitched beep both ways. The indicating lights on the drone and controller will stop flashing and stay solid on. You have successfully synced your VA-1000 and are ready to fly. If this doesnt happen, repeat steps 1-4 again. TIP 1: Try not to leave too much time between putting your battery into the drone and turning on the controller or your syncing window will time-out. TIP 2: Syncing your drone indoors or in the shade will make it easier to see the LED light indicators on both the controller and the drone. Power Indicator ON/OFF Power Switch Direction Control Press down to take photo Press down & hold to take video Right Bank Trim Left Bank Trim Power Button AUTO Start/Land F Move the control stick all the way up and all the way down, you should hear two beeps. The flashing red LED light will become solid when you are synced. Throttle/Yaw Forward Trim Backward Trim 3 4 NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!
If you have successfully synced your VA-1000 to your controller as explained on page 4 you are now ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how to start and stop the rotors, how to use your auto land feature and how the controls work so please carefully read and familiarize yourself with various control features explained in the next. Once again as a beginner pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on a day with zero or very light wind. Do not try to fly your VA-1000 too high until you become a more experience pilot. RECOGNIZING THE FRONT & REAR OF THE VA-1000 Even though the VA-1000 has four rotors there is still a front or "forward"
facing direction and "rear" or backwards facing direction. The front and forward facing direction of the VA-1000 is the side with a camera (see diagram G). The rear and backward facing direction of the drone is the side with a red light (see diagram G). AUTOMATICALLY TAKE OFF / LAND Make sure you have properly synced The VA-1000. simply press the Auto Start/Land button, your VA-1000 will automatically take off. To stop or land the VA-1000 just Press the Auto Start/Land button again and the VA-1000 will descend and land automatically
(see diagram H1). Tips: You also can move the two control sticks simultaneously down inside or outside corners, hold them till the blades start spinning. Release the control sticks and push the throttle stick slowly to take off manually (see diagram H2). FRONT REAR G H1 Move the left Throttle stick up to increase the propeller speed and the VA-1000 will accelerate and ascend. Move the left Throttle stick down to decrease the propeller speed and the VA-1000 will decelerate and descend (see diagram I). While in the air, move the left Throttle stick left and the VA-1000 will rotate left. Move the left Throttle stick right and the VA-1000 will rotate right (see diagram J). While in the air, move the right Direction Stick up and the VA-1000 will move forward. Move the right Direction Control down and the VA-1000 will move backward (see diagram K). While in the air, move the right Direction Control left and the VA-1000 will bank to the left. Move the right Direction Control right and the VA-1000 will bank to the right (see diagram L). I J K L H2 H2 SPEED SELECT BUTTON The VA-1000 has 4 speed settings; T(Training),1 (SLOW), 2 (MEDIUM) and 3 (HIGH). The Default setting when you first turn on your VA-1000 is the 1 (SLOW) speed mode. To increase the speed simply trigger the speed setting button (see remote diagram on pg 3) you will hear beeping sounds of the controller will show you what speed setting you are on. Speed settings can be set before flight or during the flight. FLIGHT CONTROL Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote to control the VA-1000. While learning to fly your VA-1000 it is best to start in a large space with the drone facing away from you until you get used to the basic controls. As you master flying your VA-1000 you can move to more advanced maneuvering techniques. Practice makes perfect!
FLIGHT PRACTICE To master flying your aircraft try practicing the exercises shown below, start with simple vertical takeoffs, landings, and left/right turning and rotating. Once those are mastered move on to square and cross maneuvers. Good luck and have fun!
Fixed-Point Landing Square Pattern Maneuver Cross Pattern Maneuver 5 6 ADJUSTING THE TRIM NOTE: The VA-1000 is already properly trimmed and calibrated right out of the box and should not require any trim adjustments before flying. Some more experienced pilots may want to adjust trim settings for their style of flying. After several crashes you may need to adjust trim settings for the VA-1000 to be more balanced. Forward/Backward Trim If your VA-1000 is moving forwards or backwards automatically, you may need to adjust the FORWARD/BACKWARD TRIM buttons. If your VA-1000 drifts forward, push and release the M BACKWARD TRIM button repeatedly until the moving stops and proper flight is maintained. If your VA-1000 drifts backwards, push and release the FORWARD TRIM button in the same manner until the problem is resolved (see diagram M). From time to time you may have to adjust the FORWARD or BACKWARD TRIM buttons to ensure the VA-1000 will hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands. N Banking Left/Right Trim If your VA-1000 is not steadily hovering and is banking to the left or right automatically, you may need to adjust the LEFT BANK or RIGHT BANK Trim buttons. If your VA-1000 banks to the left, push and release the RIGHT BANK TRIM button repeatedly until the banking stops and proper flight is maintained. If your VA-1000 banks to the right, push and release the LEFT BANK TRIM button in the same manner until the problem is resolved (see diagram N). From time to time you may have to adjust the LEFT and RIGHT BANK TRIM to ensure the VA-1000 will steadily hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands. CALIBRATING THE VA-1000 NOTE: Your VA-1000 comes per-calibrated out of the box so you are ready to fly. After several crashes and shocks to your gyro sensors, you may notice that your drone is drifting and can not hold its center position as well as it used to. This most likely means that you need to recalibrate your VA-1000. Please follow the simple instructions below. 1. Place the VA-1000 on a flat level surface 2. Make sure the VA-1000 is on and that the controller is synced (refer to syncing pg 4). Do not start the blades. Instead move both the throttles and control stick down and to the right corner (see diagram R). You will see the lights on the drone rapidly flash and stop. Once the lights stop flashing you have completed your calibration and are ready to fly!
TROUBLE SHOOTING: If you do not see the lights flash, first remove the battery from the drone then turn off your controller and start again. Always make sure to put your battery in first, then turn on your controller. Push the left throttle stick up all the way and then pull back down again. When you hear the beep the VA-1000 is synced to the controller and you are ready to calibrate. R HOW TO PERFORM 360 STUNT ROLLS Performing 360 stunt rolls with the VA-1000 is as easy as 1-2-3:
1. Hover the VA-1000 in still position making sure that you have at least 5 feet of clearance above and below the quadrocopter. Set the speed settings to mode 2 or 3, the VA-1000 can not do the stunt in T(Training) mode and speed 1(SLOW). 2. Press the 360 stunt button down and you will enter the stunt roll mode which is indicated by rapid 3. Determine which direction you want it to flip and quickly push the right control stick in the direction you beeping sounds(see diagram S). want to flip your VA-1000 (see diagram T). 360Stunt Roll Button NOTE: The use of the Trim buttons utilizes sounds. A single long Beep indicates the product is center trimmed. When theres no sound when press the trim means the product is trimmed to the maximum on a particular side. S T 7 NOTE: To exit the stunt roll mode without flip, you can press the button again. The beeping sound will stop. 8
