Default RE: Titanium Upgrades

Ben ~


Very cool your gonna try ! I haven't had the dang time, but have been itching to see if it would work. I really believe so... I've used portions of that training gear rod (Have 2 old sets) for cutting out new skid supports for the CPP also. It fits. I've also used slightly bent CX2 inner shafts cut to length for the CPP skid supports also. It made them a little heavier when I needed extra weight in the lower CG area for stability. Of course its off now....

Also with that rod, I've used it for replacement pieces for the canopy support rods on the CX2 and CPP. And also at one time for weight purposes used also the bent CX2 shafts cut to size. I recently thought I could use it for a CF replacement for the aluminum flybar rod on the CPP, but the flybar rod on the CPP was smaller. They seem to use that same diameter for the training gear rod for a few different things, so I guess its good to be a pack-rat and not throw to much away.

Let us know how it goes, since I'am lacking the time. I suppose if I get off here, it would help ! (LMAO).

I can't remember what the best combo was from the few that have experimented, but I know Goldslinger, Eat2muchrice, and Systemlord have the knowledge if you find old posts of there's. Systemlord still frequents here often and might see your post. I can't remember if its the Titanium inner shaft, going with the CF outer, or vice-versa... Or just Titanium for both, which I believe Sytemlord had done. He showed a picture at one time of the CX2 splatted on I-5 off the side I believe, and I had thought he said it fell from a powerline distance with only slight damage to one of the shafts.

Anyhoo, good luck to ya !
