APOLLO A1
QUADCOPTER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Parameter Settings:
MAX LIFT SPEED (Default Value: 2M/S)
- This option allows you to choose the maximum lift speed of the quad-
copter in Meters Per Second. Using a higher value increases the lift speed of the quadcopter, which can make
the quadcopter more difficult to control. 2M/S is ideal for basic flying.
MAX-FLY SPEED (Default Value: 3.6M/S)
- This option allows you to choose the maximum flight speed of the
quadcopter in Meters Per Second. Using a higher value increases the speed of the quadcopter, which can make
the quadcopter more difficult to control. 3.6M/S is ideal for basic flying.
MODE 1 (Default Value: Manual)
- This option allows you to choose the Flight Mode that is programmed to the
Flight Mode Switch (1) position.
We recommend that this Flight Mode Switch Position always be set to Manual.
MODE 2 (Default Value: GPS Set Altitude)
- This option allows you to choose the Flight Mode that is programmed
to the Flight Mode Switch (2) position.
MODE 3 (Default Value: Return & Land)
- This option allows you to choose the Flight Mode that is programmed
to the Flight Mode Switch (3) position.
F/S OPTION (Default Value: Return & Land)
- This option allows you to choose the Flight Mode the quadcopter will
automatically switch to when the Failsafe function activates.
We don’t suggest using LAND or AUTO HOVER.
For more information about the different Flight Modes and the Return to Home (Return & Land) function,
see the Using the GPS Flight Mode section on pages XX and XX, and the Using the Return to Home function
section on pages XX and XX.
RETURN RISE (Default Value: Rise)
- This option allows you to choose what the quadcopter will do when the
Return to Home function is activated when the quadcopter is at an altitude of less than 65 feet (20 meters). When
Rise is selected, the quacopter will first rise above 65 feet (20 meters), then execute the Return to Home maneuver.
If No Rise is selected, the quadcopter will execute the Return to Home maneuver at its current altitude without first
climbing above 65 feet (20 meters) altitude.
We suggest always selecting Rise to help reduce the chance of the quadcopter hitting an object near the
ground if the Return to Home function is activated at an altitude below 65 feet (20 meters).
MULTI-CONFIG (Default Value: Quad 4X)
- This option allows you to choose the quadcopter’s control orientation.

Adjust Transmitter Settings:
These settings cannot be changed, except for the STICK LAYOUT value, which is used to verify control stick calibration.
AP VERSION
- This value displays the current flight controller firmware version installed. The last three numbers
are the actual version number (e.g. 142051 = v.051).
AP VOLT
- This value displays the current voltage of the quadcopter’s LiPo battery.
SATELLITES
- This value displays how many satellites are locked to the GPS. The more satellites the better. You
will need at least four locked for good GPS use. Seven or more is ideal for the best performance.
LONGITUDE
- This value displays the quadcopter’s current longitude coordinates. A GPS lock is required for a
value to be displayed.
LATITUDE
- This value displays the quadcopter’s current latitude coordinates. A GPS lock is required for a value
to be displayed.
ALTITUDE
- This value displays the quadcopter’s current altitude in meters, relative to the altitude that the quadcopter
was at when the compass was last calibrated.
ATTITUDE
- This value displays the quadcopter’s current attitude in degrees.
This value should always be set to Quad 4X. Using any other setting will result in the quad not flying or being
uncontrollable.
