There are two types of ATOM propellers: CW and CCW, which are designed to spin in different directions. Marks are used to indicate which propellers should be attached to which motors, the two blades attached to one motor are the same. Before mounting the propeller, better confirm the mark on each first.
Notes:
1.If the propeller is mounted in an improper way, the drone cannot take off.
2.The +1/+2, -1/-2, A1/B1,A2/B2... only indicates the production batch, not the marks

Use the the screwdriver from the package to mount the propellers. Hold the motor to remove the propeller blades easier.

The signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable when the antennas are positioned in relation to the aircraft (please refer to the attached image below). If you have not yet used this method, it is highly advised to use it to have an optimal transmission. We suggest also trying it on a different spot and make sure that everything, both the firmware and the App Potensic Pro, is up to date. Should the same result applies, please let us know at support@potensic.com.
