"Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius"

No carbon fiber boom available, so you solved the issue yourself. Nicely done, Jesse!!!

The nice thing is it is stronger than the thin Stock aluminum boom . So one more less crash Item Im hoping
It also helped with the cog problem by putting some weight on the tail . The stock boom 16.5 grams the carbon boom is 24.2 grams and then the aluminum strut mount I add is 2.9 grams so gained about 10 grams on the tail
It is now tail heavy with the ESC on the side of the frame

What's the plug end hanging out there? Normal or did you add a governor sensor?

Ok been a while sense I have said anything on this Bird
I finely got to fly it and MAN this is one Sweet bird
On the maiden with the stock tail boom and tail blades It had a slow tail wag with the carbon fiber boom and the new tail blades that wag is gone with out changing anything in the set up
I put 3 packs on this thing and was singing it around like it was my 130x Just acting a fool It took everything I told it too and that is just in idle up1
at a flat 75%curve ungov. my ID2 is set at 90% but dont see a need for it tell I change out the pinion witch at 16.00 I think Ill hold off
I Know its harder on the ESC But I think If I hook up the GOV. in the K bar it should be ok
