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

Re: Superbad's JR Forza 450 build
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

Re: Superbad's JR Forza 450 build
What's the plug end hanging out there? Normal or did you add a governor sensor?

Re: Superbad's JR Forza 450 build
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
