Vortex05,
Boom strikes are very difficult, if not impossible to avoid. It all depends on your type of flying. You could get boom strikes no matter what type of blades you use. Just kinda gear down and avoid the strikes. I've done that a few time, usually doing something crazy. Being to aggessive. Slow down a tad.

I've recently had a boomstrike that destroyed the holder that connector to the main body needless to day the boom is no longer connected to the main body. I was wondering however after this incident what could we do to lessen the damage or even prevent a boomstrike caused by rough landing.
I'm thinking this time the boomstrike was caused by the flex provided by the plasti-blades. This is unfortunate. This leads me to believe that this could be prevented by putting on my CF blades or my woodies.
What would the well established community recommend, I've already placed some shock absorbing material around the area of the boom that gets struck but this time it's the frame that gave way.
