ATOMRC

Aerodynamic Excellence: Why ATOMRC is the Ultimate Transition for Quad Pilots
Whether you are looking to escape the limited flight times of multirotors or want to explore the horizon, ATOMRC offers the most resilient EPP fixed-wing platforms on the market. From the high-speed ATOMRC Dolphin to the stable, twin-motor Swordfish, these aircraft are engineered for pilots who demand efficiency, durability, and long-range capabilities that traditional drones simply can’t match.

Choosing Your Mission: Racing Proximity vs. Long-Range Exploration
Many pilots coming from a quad background are currently debating between the Heewing F01 and the ATOMRC Dolphin. While both are excellent, the Dolphin excels in high-speed proximity and ‘park jet’ style flying. For those asking, “What drone has 400 km range?”—while consumer units aren’t there yet, an ATOMRC setup optimized with 21700 Li-Ion cells can push the boundaries of BVLOS flight far beyond standard quadcopters.

Pros and Cons of the ATOMRC Ecosystem

Pros: High-density EPP foam is incredibly crash-resilient; the Dolphin’s internal layout is spacious for DJI Air Units; excellent efficiency for 45-60 minute flight times.
Cons: KIT versions require specialized glue (EPP safe); the F405 NAVI flight controller can be finicky with ‘beeping’ errors if the target firmware isn’t perfectly calibrated.

Expert Engineering Tips for Fixed-Wing Success
As a senior engineer, I often see pilots struggle with the transition. First, address the 120m rule: while technically a ceiling, fixed wings cover horizontal distance much faster, so focus on range rather than altitude. If you experience the common “beeping” issue when plugging in your Dolphin Pro RTH, it’s usually a sensor calibration error in iNav—ensure your Drone Tools include a reliable USB-C data cable for CLI tuning. For the ultimate immersion, look into DJI Goggles V2 head tracking mods on Thingiverse; it transforms the Dolphin into a true cockpit experience. Also, yes, you can fly your FPV drone in snow, but ensure you waterproof your ESCs with conformal coating first!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between KIT, PNP, and FPV versions of ATOMRC planes?
KIT is the bare airframe requiring full assembly and electronics; PNP (Plug and Play) includes motors, ESCs, and servos pre-installed; FPV versions are fully equipped with a camera and Video Transmitter (VTX).

Why is EPP foam preferred for ATOMRC FPV fixed-wing aircraft?
ATOMRC uses high-density EPP because it is “crash-resilient.” Unlike rigid EPO, EPP absorbs impacts and is easily repaired, making it ideal for high-speed proximity flying.

Does the ATOMRC Swordfish support Long Range RTH (Return to Home) functions?
Yes, when equipped with a flight controller like the ATOMRC F405 NAVI, it supports GPS-based RTH, which is critical for safety if the radio link is lost during long-range missions.

How far can an ATOMRC Dolphin fly on a single Li-Ion battery pack?
With a 4S Li-Ion pack (21700 cells), the Dolphin can exceed 45-60 minutes of flight time, covering over 20-30km depending on throttle management.
