Step 1: How to Build Rotorx Atom V3?

First, solder the XT30 power cable on the base layer

Next, select your antenna and connect. Note: DO NOT power on without the antenna being in place because it can damage the VTX. Attach the plastic base plate to the cube. This part helps protect from carbon and prevents shortages. To attach, use two short, flat screws in recessed holes to secure. Screw the positive nuts on the cube—they are marked with “+”. Then place double-sided tape on the bottom of the cube. This isolates the screws from the frame.

Use two plastic screws to secure the cube to the from into the “-“ nuts. Make sure you secure them firmly.

Attach the camera. It has three different mounts (15, 30 and 45 degrees). Only permanently glue in if you don’t want to change the tilt. Note: hot glue is a good option to use because it’s less permanent.
Plug camera into front left bottom plug. Use long M3x12 screws to hold the camera in. Install LED and route antennas. Install canopy.

Ensure the wires aren’t pinched.
Route antenna. Plug in USB and connect to BetaFlight. Plug in battery. Go to motor tab and test motor direction. If your motors aren’t correct, you can check in BLHELI.

Bind and configure the Atom V3.
Set-up switches and configure end points to the DX6. To enter the OSD turn on quad and radio. Hold left on the yaw axis and count down. Navigate up and down with the pitch. Confirm with roll axis, which goes back or exits out of the configuration. Install propellers--AND FLY!
