Atom 500 swashplate ball link snapped!

Shit hot won't describe it lol! Love mine so far, zero problems, flies great.
Make sure to rotate the head simulating cyclic movements, using the spacer was making my delrin pitch link hitting the outer swash plate hence the reason what you saw in the video, changing to the thin spacer has been trouble free ever since for me, of course my pitch is set to 14-+, cyclic is set with max throw with quite a lot of the anti rotation bracket shaven to clear the elevator link.

Hey you guys are making a big deal out of this spacer. Check a thread I posted last year
i think on how I did it. Just go to your local hardware store to buy the washer for this application. Cant rememeber exact ID of the washer but I stated the size in my post.
All I did was to stack 2 thin pcs & no more issues

[Daniel880516]

Not a big deal at all, but definitely don't want the same thing happen to others 30 feet up and becoming a big deal with their wallet lol.

That's the thing Daniel. The ones that Compass sells is pretty thick & it might
cause the problem that you mention. My solution is much thinner & does not
cause the rod ends to rub onto anything

The nut mod was invented somewhere by someone on forum.
But from my end I can vouch for it.

I had the appropiate nuts to hand so it could be done there and then

As they would say in France

It's in the sac ( Loosely translated "my nuts are in the bag")
