NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!
If you have successfully synced yourVA-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.
Even though theVA-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).

FLIGHT CONTROL
Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote to control theVA-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!
Move the leftThrottle stick up to increase the
propeller speed and the VA-1000 will accelerate
and ascend.
Move the leftThrottle stick down to decrease the
propeller speed and the VA-1000 will decelerate
and descend (see diagram I).
While in the air,move the leftThrottle stick left
and the VA-1000 will rotate left.
Move the leftThrottle stick right and the
VA-1000 will rotate right (see diagram J).
While in the air,move the right Direction Stick up

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.

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 theVA-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
beeping sounds(see diagram S).
3.Determine which direction you want it to flip and quickly push the right control stick in the direction you
want to flip yourVA-1000 (see diagram T).
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 theVA-1000 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.
