During a flight, it is normal for the Atom to go off-course slightly sometimes. But if it drifts 

continually without any input from the control sticks, you have to adjust the trim positions 

to compensate for the drifting. The trim ‘fine-tunes’ the speed of the motors. Just press 

the appropriate trim button opposite to the movement repeatedly until the Atom is flying 

as straight as possible.
