You mean the rear link that goes inti the AR bracket?

Had that happen on my 6hv. Not a good ending. Not common but not unheard of in the 6hv and 7hv.

The other models use a solid pin link with 2.5 mm thread.

First I have heard of in the Atom.

Hmmm lets see a pick if you have it.

That is really odd....

Very short lever. Either it was over torqued or had a severe flaw in the metal.

I am assuming it did not end well for the heli?
