I don't know how many of you know about this nifty hint... If you are running the standard wire drive system for the TR you will like this one.

Goto your hobby store and buy a hollow plastic tube that will just fit the I.D. of your tail boom. Then you have to cut the tube into measured pieces so you can put the bushings back in place, with the plastic tube taking up all the space between the bushings. It should all fit snugly inside the aluminum boom. It will do a lot to protect your tail boom from bending/breaking during a boom strike.

I did this mod after folding one too many booms. Never had to replace another since then. Weight gains and CG change are minimal. Definately beats buying booms. I know this may not be an entirely clear description of the mod, so let me know if I can clarify.

Happy Flying!
