Atom 80 200hr Review

[@scaryberrygroupie4390]

Loved this video as I learned a lot. I was going to ask a few questions but I then watched your 150 hour video and it answered all of them. I really loved your fact sheet as provided in the beginning of the 150 hour video. I would recommend including that into all of these successive videos in the opening sequence. Also, your style is so nice that I would go bonkers over a 250 hour performance review rather than maintenance review. There simply aren't that many quality reviews on this sweet unit's performance. The world could definitely use one more. Thanks for posting this.

Would be good to mention how much repairs cost

I'm getting very poor fuel efficiency with straight and level flight trimmed in on my Atom 80. Like 4.5-5L per hour. Any ideas how to diagnose or fix this? I've been told my low screw might be too rich but would that really make that much difference?

Great video Matthew, thank you. I too am rocking an Atom 80 and have put 130 hours on it. You pointed out some leakage problems with the exhaust. Did you notice a performance loss when it started to leak?

[@matthewpesce765]

No, just messy. Performance has always been great. That's why I don't fix it properly, it cosmetic at this point.

Thank you for the great video. May I ask you what oil are you using.

[@matthewpesce765]

Motul 800. Leaves residue as you can see. I don't mind, I clean the head every 50hrs.

Great video Matt. Glad everything went well. I’ll probably be doing my 200 hr in a month or two also.

I appreciate this review. Great information. - Ben

Well done Matt!

[@adaltianno]

Think about how many hours you'd have on that thing if you flew BOTH weekend days! Just sayin. ;-) Great video by the way.

Thanks for sharing. Recently changed the same bearing on my top-80, I think it fails first because of higher RPM. What oil in gearbox do you use?
