SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure to follow these safety precautions
may result in injury to yourself and others.
●Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the rotating plane
of the blades whenever the battery is connected. Keep loose clothing, shirt
sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers
that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets away from the rotors. The spinning
blades of a model quadcopter can cause serious injury. When choosing a
flying site for your VUSION HOUSE RACER, stay clear of obstacles, trees and
power lines. AVOID flying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT fly close to
people or pets. Maintain a safe distance from the quadcopter.
●Your VUSION HOUSE RACER should not be considered a toy. Because of its
performance capabilities, the VUSION HOUSE RACER, if not operated correctly,
could cause injury to you or spectators and damage to property.
●DO NOT alter or modify the model. Doing so may result in an unsafe or unflyable
model.
●When and if repairs are necessary you must correctly install all components
so that the model operates properly on the ground and in the air. Please check
the operation of the model before every flight to insure that all equipment is
operating and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
the propellers before each flight. Replace them if they show any signs of wear
or fatigue.
KNOW BEFORE YOU FLY
As a new owner of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), you are responsible for
the operation of this vehicle and the safety of those around you. Please contact
your local authorities to find out the latest rules and regulations.

AMA
We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) and a local R/C
club. The AMA is the governing body of model aviation and membership is
required to fly at AMA clubs. Though joining the AMA provides many benefits,
one of the primary reasons to join is liability protection. Coverage is not limited
to flying at contests or on the club field. It even applies to flying at public
demonstrations and air shows. Failure to comply with the Safety Code may
endanger insurance coverage. Additionally, training programs and instructors
are available at AMA club sites to help you get started the right way. There are
over 2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country. Contact the AMA at the
address or toll-free phone number that follows.

Wall Guard Installation
The House Racer has wall guards to help prevent
the House Racer from flipping over when it makes
contact with other objects. Push them onto the
tops of the motors.
Radio System
Remove the screw from the battery
door. Insert 4 AA batteries in the
battery compartment in the back
of the transmitter.
Turn on the transmitter and connect the battery
to the Vusion. The quadcopter should beep once
when it is linked to the transmitter.
NOTE: Always turn the transmitter on first.
FLYING
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Plug in the quad.
3. Immediately set the quad on a flat surface for 10 seconds.
Status LED
Rapid Flash – No signal is being received
from the transmitter.
Steady – With a single beep from the
House Racer, the flight
controller is linked with the
transmitter.
Medium Flash – With slow beeping from the House Racer, flight battery is
almost depleted, land immediately.
Slow Flash – With slow beeping from House Racer, lost signal from
controller (lost model beacon).

Controls
Sensor Calibration
1. Calibrate the sensors before the first flight. Turn on
the transmitter. Center all the trim adjustments. To
center the trim settings, hold down one side of the
trim button until you hear a long beep. If the
controller stops beeping, release the trim button
and hold down the other side.
2. Plug in the House Racer and place it on a level
surface.
3. Hold the right stick in its lower right corner.
4. Move the left stick down and to the right. When
the LEDs on the House Racer start to flash, release
both sticks. The LEDs will stop flashing when the calibration is complete.
Motor Arming
While the throttle is at its lowest setting, hold the
yaw control to the right to arm the motors. Holding
the yaw control to the left while the throttle is at
its lowest setting will disarm the motors. The motors
will also shut off if the throttle is at its lowest setting
for more than 3 seconds.
ArmArmDisarm

8
Flight Modes
The Vusion has 3 flight modes.
Mode 1 – This mode has
autolevel, mild roll rates and
limited tilt angles. Ideal for the
pilot that is moving up from
an entry level quadcopter.
Mode 2 – This mode still has autolevel, but has higher roll rates and higher control
sensitivity. This mode is for the more experienced pilot.
Mode 3 – This mode (rate mode) has no limits on tilt and faster roll rates. The
quad will not autolevel in this mode. This mode offers the most maneuverability
and the ability to manually roll and flip, but requires the pilot to be able to control
the attitude of the quadcopter at all times.
It normally takes a week or two of practice to learn to fly rate mode. Start by
flying Line of Sight (no FPV) until you can comfortably control the quad. When
you are comfortable making a manual flip, you should be ready to fly FPV in
this mode.
Takeoff and Landing
Turn on the transmitter and connect the flight battery to the VUSION HOUSE
RACER. Place the quadcopter on a level surface and let it sit for 10 seconds to
let the flight controller set up the gyros.
To take off, arm the motors and advance the throttle at a moderate speed until the
House Racer is at least 3 feet above the ground.
To land, hover the Vusion over the landing spot and slowly reduce the throttle.
When the quadcopter is on the ground, disarm the motors.
IMPORTANT! Always unplug the battery as soon as you land.
Recharge before next use.
Auto-Flip
The House Racer can auto-flip when in Flight Mode 2.
1. Press the button on the left side of the controller.
2. Move the right stick in the desired flip direction.
3. Release the stick and button as soon as the flip starts so the controller is
ready for use when the flip is completed.

FPV
The House Racer has a
built in FPV camera and
40 channel VTX that
transmits on the A, B, E,
F and R bands.
1. Power up the
House Racer.
2. Attach the FPV monitor antenna and turn on the monitor.
3. If the monitor is not displaying a signal from the House Racer, hold the “B”
button on the monitor for 2 seconds and release it. The monitor will scan
all the channels and lock onto the closest signal.
4. Place the monitor in the cradle on the transmitter or inside the goggle.
If the VTX channel must be changed, hold the camera button for a second to
change the band. A quick tap on the button will change the channel.
The LED will display a letter for the
band and a number for the channel
that is selected.
Lines and static on the feed from the
FPV camera are normal and will be
more frequent as the House Racer
gets farther from the pilot. The
typical FPV range is 50 to 75 yards
depending on how close sources of
interference like Wi-Fi routers are
to the flying area. If you have access
to large open area to fly, replacing
the antenna on the monitor with a
circular polarized antenna like the
Tactic FPV Cloverleaf Antenna
(TACZ5305) will increase the FPV range.
Flying FPV is more difficult than normally (Line of Sight) because it is difficult to
determine altitude with just the camera.
Practice with a spotter so they can provide warnings and assist with locating the
quad when it crashes. If possible, fly in an open area with grass.
Stay low until you can control the House Racer’s height without assistance.
When you are comfortable flying in an open area, practice flying a pre-set course.

FAILSAFE / BEACON
The House Racer will autoland and start beeping when the signal from the transmitter
is lost. This feature can be used as a beacon to help locate the quadcopter when
it has crashed. Simply turn off the transmitter.
BATTERIES
The VUSION HOUSE RACER uses a 650mAh single cell LiPo. Typical flight time
is 5 to 7 minutes depending on the flying style. Always unplug the battery after
your flight!
The flight controller does have a low voltage cutoff to protect the LiPo from damage.
The rear LED will flash and the House Racer will start beeping when the battery
voltage drops to 3.4V. You should land the quadcopter as soon as possible when
you hear or see the alarm to avoid damaging the battery. The House Racer will
autoland when the battery voltage gets below 3.2V.
The flight battery should always be recharged before it is stored.
WARNING: Your battery life will be reduced and the battery can be damaged
any time the battery voltage drops below 3.0V. Charging a battery that is damaged
in any way can pose a fire hazard.
MAINTENANCE
Propeller Installation
Each arm and propeller on the House
Racer is marked with the letter “A” or “B”
and an arrow indicating proper rotation.
The propeller must be installed on an arm
with the same letter or the quadcopter will
not be able to fly.
Carefully pry the damaged propeller off
of the motor with a flat blade screwdriver.
Install the new propeller on the motor
shaft and push it up a far as possible.
Place the bottom of the propeller on a
flat surface and push down on the arm.
You will feel the propeller “pop” into
place when it is completely installed on
the motor shaft.
Link Transmitter
If the House Racer does not respond to the controller, your transmitter may need
to be relinked to the quadcopter. Before starting this procedure, please make sure
that there are no other R/C transmitters operating nearby.
