The Ball Links on the Atom need to be resized. These Ball Links will NOT break in over time. they
will stay tight and will cause unwanted interactions.
It is very important to resize the Ball Links for smooth travel, especially on the tail; because issues
like tail wag, sluggish tail, or inconsistent Piro-rate will occur.
It is vital not to over tighten the Main Gear Bolt, or it can cause the Autorotation Gear to slightly
warp. This can cause a premature Belt failure, or reduce the lifetime of the Belt.

To improve '3D' Tail Rotor authority we suggest doing the “Tail Blade Grip Flip”. The result is
a increased stability in 3D flying.

Leave About 0.1mm space between the Flybar Collar and the Flybar Holder, this avoids the
Flybar to snap when flying.
