Default 6HV feet.
Are there still plans to bring out a 6HV version ?
Or have they been shelved until the new release ?

The 6 HV feet feel a little bit on the wobbly side of life these days, fortunately the blancmange effect doesn't fool the fbl controller.

Mostly curious

Need to place my order can you get an extra set of carbon skids? Don’t see them listed individually

Yep, they are there. Go to Atom 500 parts, they are at the bottom of the last page. They are sold individually though.

Nice!!!

I found mine resolved some ground resonance issues I had with my atom 5.5...

The stock skids are good. These are better!

Yea it’s a real good quality kit and I feel I got my moneys worth with this purchase. Sometimes you buy upgrades and they don’t seem worth it but that’s not the case here these make the Atom 500 look bad ass!

I like mine too, a lot. I just wish there was a larger set for our 5.5's. The same size as the 6HV landing struts with 500 tubes. I haven't tried them on my 5.5 yet because they seem too narrow and a bit out of proportion. The 6HV struts are nice and wide to aid in stable landings and minimize tip overs. They look perfect on the my 500 though. Great product, thanks Jeff

Where can I get the aluminum mounts to mount these skids. I have a set but no way to mount them. I checked Hawk-RC and RC Canada with no luck. I sure would like to mount these bad boys. Thanks guys.
