WARNING
FLIGHT PREPARATION
• Verify that there are 4 “AAA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the ASC-2500 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 ASC-2500,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 ASC-2500
Important! When syncing your ASC-2500 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

NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!
If you have successfully synced your ASC-2500 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
ASC-2500 too high until you become a more experience pilot.
Even though the ASC-2500 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 ASC-2500 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).

CALIBRATING THE ASC-2500
NOTE:Your ASC-2500 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 ASC-2500.Please follow the simple instructions
below.
1. Place the ASC-2500 on a flat level surface
2. Make sure the ASC-2500 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 (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
ASC-2500 is synced to the controller and you are ready to calibrate.
NOTE:To exit the stunt roll mode without flip,you can press the button again.The beeping sound
will stop.
HOW TO PERFORM 360º STUNT ROLLS
Performing 360º stunt rolls with the ASC-2500 is as easy as 1-2-3:
1.Hover the ASC-2500 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 ASC-2500 can not do the stunt in
speed 1.
2.Press the 360 stunt button down and you will enter the stunt roll mode which is indicated by rapid
beeping (see diagram S) sounds.
3. Determine which direction you want it to flip and quickly push the right control stick in the direction you
want to flip your ASC-2500 (see diagramT). You have 2 choices a) Right side roll,b) Left side roll.
ADJUSTING THE TRIM
NOTE:The ASC-2500 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 ASC-2500 to be more
balanced.
NOTE: The use of theTrim buttons utilizes sounds.A single long Beep indicates the product is
center trimmed.When there’s no sound when press the trim means the product is trimmed to the
maximum on a particular side.
EMERGENCY STOP:press the“speed setting button”and“stunt button”simultaneously to stop the
drone blade from spinning.Use it when you lose control of your drone.
