An in-depth step by step process of how to set up and disassemble an ATOS VQ Race.
The VQ and VR/S are share most of the same setup / breakdown steps with exception to the tip aera.
Most of the footage is of the VR, with the specific VQ steps included.

One can only dream ! The Atos wings are magnificent! ( I speak as a former Exxtacy owner)

[@MikeBomstad]

Ahh yes. You know first hand then how good the Atos is!

This is the best setup/breakdown video I have seen on UA-cam. I would only add (at 13:24) to also make sure the spoileron bungees are disconnected before de-tensioning the glider. I learned that the hard way.

[@MikeBomstad]

@nice2care that is a good point. The newer models however,, the flange where you hook the bungee is smaller if you don't unhook it it slides off on its own.
I'll see if I can add that to a revised video

Very informative. Every step is very well detailed.

[@MikeBomstad]

Thanks. Good hear. Should help new and current pilots. Keep up the great flying.

This is a VR, not a VQ Race

[@MikeBomstad]

see the disclaimer at the start :09
"The VQ and VR/S
They are very similar in setup / breakdown procedures.
Most of the footage is of the VR,
except for the specific VQ steps. (Tips and tipwands)"

[@skyjockbill]

@@MikeBomstad Very true. Hadn't noticed the disclaimer, sorry.

[@MikeBomstad]

Its all good. It was much less editing that way. Just changed the tip items that were different. I guess I could have added verbiage through out the vid.
