Powerboost pipe clearance.
« on: June 18, 2012, 11:13:23 AM »
Gearing up for my N5c. Currently my OS55 is fitted to an OS Powerboost pipe.  Does anyone know if there a clearance issue with either the airframe or canopy with this pipe?  I know alot of guys are running the B320 pipe, just not sure about the OS pipe.

Thanks.

I am running the B320 also which seems to be very similar to the powerboost. I can tell you with having the E6/E7 quick mounts on the front the clearance is tight. To the point where if you tried to remove it while hot you'd get burned.

Before that I used the Evo 55 pipe and the standard thumb screws and it was still a cautious attempt to ensure I didn't burn my finger.

Some people run the Powerboost and I don't think there's fitment issues, it just might be tight but not enough to burn the canopy.

Thanks Brandon, I guess I'll just have to wait and see once I get it built.  Not sure about the quickmounts.  I'm a Synergy new guy so I don't really know all the add-ons.

If anyone else is running a Powerboost pipe please let me know.

Thank you kindly.

With funtech there is a spacer that comes with it that helps with clearance.
