•

Note: The following instructions are for Mode 2 transmitters

(throttle stick on the left, ight control stick on the right).

Sport Mode

For those that want to go

beyond simply directing

Āton in the sky and explore

what it’s like to actually take

more control and ﬂy, Āton is

equipped with Sport Mode.

Sport (Fast) Mode uses the full capability of the 6-axis ﬂight control

system (auto leveling) for high-speed sport ﬂying. Altitude hold is

disabled and both altitude and throttle are controlled by the throttle

stick (left stick, Mode 2). Sport Mode also enables trick functions.

To enter Sport Mode, the

Āton should be powered on and disarmed

Press to click the ﬂight control stick (right stick) once to toggle the

Āton into Sport Mode.

The transmitter will beep 2 times, the green LED

will begin ﬂashing, and the LCD will display FAST.

Performing tricks

In Sport (Fast) Mode, Āton can perform automated expert ﬂips and

rolls when you press the AUX1 button, and then enter a quick stick

command in the chosen direction. Do not attempt these ﬂight

tricks until you are able to ﬂy conﬁdently in Sport Mode. Choose

an area that will provide a soft landing and maintain enough altitude

to allow room to recover control as you practice ﬂipping the model.

The number of ﬂips and rolls performed can be set using the Traxxas

Flight Link App (see page 14 for more information).

There are also menu functions in the transmitter that allow you to

customize the settings. Refer to the instructions online for using the

transmitter menu.

Note: Always remove camera frame and landing gear BEFORE

attempting ﬂight tricks.

AIR BRAKES

If you lose control of Āton at any point, press and hold the Air Brakes

button and Āton will come to a stop and hover in place. When you are

ready, release the Air Brakes button and continue ﬂying in the currently

selected mode (Film, Sport, or Expert).

RETURN TO HOME

The Return to Home button may be pressed at anytime to stabilize Āton

and return it to you. You may cancel return to home by pressing and

releasing the Air Brakes button. Āton will then be ﬂying in Film Mode

under your control.

ADVANCED: CHANGING MODES DURING FLIGHT

Advanced pilots may ﬁnd it helpful to be able to change modes during

ﬂight. For example, if you are ﬂying in Sport Mode, use Return to Home,

and then cancel return to home. Āton will then be ﬂying in Film Mode.

You can switch back to Sport Mode and continue ﬂying by pressing

and holding the Air Brakes button, and then pressing (clicking) the ﬂight

control stick to toggle through the modes...one click for Sport Mode, 2

clicks for Expert Mode. Release the Air Brakes button to continue ﬂying

in the selected mode.
