Thanks Arm_Coder! I am feeling/getting better by the day. I might even be able to start working on my 7HV rebuild as soon as tomorrow.

I know how much it sucks being laid up, especially in the summer with so much to miss out on. Shit like that never happens mid Winter. OHIP is good, WSIB too. Don't even wanna guess what my claim has cost thus far. Surgeries alone would be astronomical. What happened you need a rebuild, thought you just buttoned that up?

I "only" needed to replace the lower frame, boom, boom supports, main blades and busted ESC after the crash but ended up getting a new motor too.

What did you do with your atom today?
My Atom threw a swash-to-grip link on its second flight today. Damage was not as bad as it could have been: dented boom, one broken blade, one bent grip arm, broken tail fin.
EDIT: One of the Delrin links broke too.

Sounds you lucked out Alan.
I think I'd rather throw a swash-grip like you did than the servo-swash like I did on my 7Hv. Swash-grip the blade tends to center and flutter. Still sucks either way and glad your damage wasn't worse.

Sorry to hear about the cycling accident, Cyclo.
Hope you feel better soon, and that you're able to attend the Toronto FF. |

What did I do with my Atom today? Crashed. Just got it fixed on friday from previous crash. Got nice rail 426mm blades and 6HVU skids etc. Was so nice...4th flight on this weekend and bang. Transmitter turned off and Atom fell from the sky. Things broken: skids, blades, few ball links and bent tailboom. Not bad but just frustrating.

Thanks. Parts already ordered. 78 euros total, so not bad. Last crash with blades was 140 euros.

I took 6 charged Batteries to the club today to do some tweaking on my BX!
I sat down ate my pizza, chatted with the guys a bit, then got roped into mowing the field! Well 3 hours later I was hot and pooped. So no flying for me today. Good news is at least my Atom came home in one piece and the field looks great!

Well on a sad note I sold my Atom 5.5, Im going to miss that heli, but on a good note Im just about finishing the build on mu 550 Ultimate and i have to say its a step up on quality from the original 6HV on which its loosely based.
Ive had two Atoms a 6HV a 7HV and now a 550U and Im as excited as ever to see this one fly. waiting for my esc to arrive so it wont be in the air for the weekend

Sadly enough I'll soon be posting mine as well.
Some things came up and were short on funds so I will be listing a bit of 'can live without' stuff. Will be my 5.5 and my spare airframe plus MKS servo's, a BeastX, Pyro 600-11 and some other bits. If anyone is looking for an Atom 500/5.5 package shoot me a PM.

Do you have many spare parts to sell? Or spare blades for the 5.5?

Update to my 550u build I've got an ikon fbl for it, but I bought a Spartan fbl this morning for it and it should be on the post from the UK some time soon, I've only ever flown the Msh brain / ikon fbl so it will be interesting to see what a different fbl will do. I'm going to setup on ikon first just to get a feel for the 550u then change over when the spartan arrives.

Actually got out to fly mine last Friday (the Stretched one). Really nice to fly it again!

I was doing some low inverted hovering and discovered that my Atom doesn't do subterranean flight very well.
