Instinctive mode
OK
In Instinctive mode, your Atom flies in the direction you move the right stick of the controller
relative to its defined reference heading, regardless of the way Atom is oriented.
Follow the instructions below to operate the Atom in
Instinctive mode:
1. Power on the Atom and the controller.
2. Place the Atom on the ground, facing it in the
direction of where you’ll be flying it toward (e.g., a
nearby hill in the skyline).
3. Link the controller. When the Atom initially links
up with the controller, it remembers a reference
heading that it is pointed at (e.g., the direction of
the hill) throughout the flight.
4. To activate Instinctive mode during flight, press
and hold the
Instinctive mode
button on the
controller for 2 seconds; the controller beeps 8
times.
From now onward, the direction where the Atom
is facing is irrelevant to its control. All forward,
backward, right and left controls are done through the
right stick.
Using the hill as the reference heading in our example,
when you push forward on the right stick, the Atom will
move in the direction of the hill. If you pull back on the
stick, the Atom will move backward away from the hill.
Move the right stick left or right and the Atom will fly left
or right relative to its reference heading.

Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of your Atom’s orientation when it has flown too far away or
especially during night flying. Now there’s a quick way to bring it back closer to your position!
