Va is the maximum speed which any ONE of the flight controls can have a maximum deflection without exceeding design limit load... If other flight controls except the elevator are not limiting then Va is a function of stall speed and design limit load. This post is poorly worded...but even unlimited aerobatics champions don't reverse the flight controls rapidly they always unload first.
