• Check that the propellers are firmly secured in their slots before each takeoff.
• Small adjustments made slowly and carefully are the best way to fly well. Be careful
when easing off the throttle – if the Atom stalls, it will fall to the ground and even if
you jam the throttle back on, it might not be able to recover in time.
• Once the Atom is up in the air, practise hovering and keep it in one spot by making
very slight adjustments to the throttle. You’ll find that because it is micro-size, even
the lightest of breeze can effect on the stability of the Atom.
• While positioning the Atom into a steady hover, slowly decrease the throttle until it
lands. Try practising landings on the bonus landing pad game and have some fun
with your friends!
• Use the controller’s left and right sticks at different angles and positions to design
and execute some graceful, arcing turns. Quick thrusts of the stick in different
directions can create some unique tricks or stunts.
• Perform “pirouettes” by rotating around 360° in the air.
• When the battery is starting to run low, the Atom will respond slowly to the
controller or be unable to maintain altitude easily. Before power to the motors is
cut off entirely, gradually move the left stick all the way down to slow the propellers
until you can land the Atom safely.
• Regularly inspect and clean any dirt trapped around the rotors using a soft brush.
Accumulation of dirt puts additional stress on the motor and may cause the rotor to
spin unevenly or even stop spinning completely.
• Wipe the toy clean with a slightly damp cloth
• Do not submerge in water. This will damage the electronic components.
• Always remove the batteries from the controller when not being used for extended
durations.
