Discover the joy of model aircraft with a deep dive into Enjoying the Boomerang RC Jets Atom. From meticulous builds to custom mounts for electronics and fuel systems, this post explores how organization enhances reliability and maintenance ease, ensuring an outstanding flying experience.
We are Enjoying the Boomerang RC Jets Atom. As an RC modeler, few things are more satisfying than completing a new jet and seeing all the planning and installation work come together in the air. I recently had the opportunity to fly my new Boomerang RC Jets Atom, and it has proven to be an outstanding aircraft. The Atom is exceptionally well designed, flies beautifully, and was an absolute pleasure to build from start to finish.
During the build process, my goal was to create a clean, organized installation that would make maintenance easier while keeping all systems securely mounted. To accomplish this, I designed and produced a number of custom mounts specifically for the aircraft’s electronics and fuel system. These mounts helped streamline the installation and significantly reduce wiring and component clutter inside the fuselage.
The lower electronics tray provided a great starting point for the main avionics installation. I used this area to mount a Jet Central Box 210 along with a Bavarian Demon Cortex Pro stabilization system. The Atom’s tray includes a trapezoidal opening, which turned out to be an ideal location for the Central Box once I designed a dedicated mounting bracket. The custom mount allowed the unit to sit securely within the opening while maintaining proper access to wiring and connections. This approach kept the installation tidy and ensured that both the Central Box and Cortex Pro were firmly supported and well positioned.
The upper tray was dedicated to the fuel system components, specifically the UAT along with the filter and valve assembly. As with the electronics installation, I used purpose-built mounts designed specifically for these components. Each mount holds the equipment securely in place while maintaining proper alignment and accessibility for fuel lines and servicing.
By designing mounts tailored to the Atom’s layout, the entire installation came together in a clean and highly functional way. Everything is securely supported, easy to access, and neatly arranged, which not only improves reliability but also makes the aircraft easier to maintain over time. The result is an installation that matches the quality and performance of the Atom itself—clean, efficient, and built with the modeler in mind.
