First batch of kits have shipped. Depending on when you did your pre-order your kit may be in route already :) Check with the store you ordered from. I know the first batch sold quickly!

As for tail boom, we don't have an ETA. It's still in prototyping. It is coming though :) As soon as we have a time frame, I am sure Matt will let you know!

Post by: J Anthony on June 04, 2016, 12:14:06 AM: I didn't think I'd like the boom wrap until I saw Matt's in person. Looks really nice. I hate to add to crash costs, but I think it'll help with presence in the sky on top of looking super cool.

The wrap will come ready to fit an 806. Shorter configurations will have to trim the boom a bit. A copping saw or any fine tooth saw will make quick worn of it.

Post by: Kevin Feil on July 17, 2016, 11:13:32 AM: +1 for Chris, also in addition a dermel with the little cutting blade works great, and since its carbon once you size and cut the boom to your desired length, take a little CA and seal the end of the boom where the cut was made. Not to much but just enough to keep it sealed and finished looking. Won't be long till they are here.

Post by: Matt Botos on July 31, 2016, 03:18:28 PM: Also, instead of trying to mark it with a sharpie you can wrap blue painters tape around the boom wrap and use the edge of the tape as a cutting guide.
Title: Re: 766 Boom wrap
Post by: Richard Rollins on July 31, 2016, 08:26:04 PM: I did the tape thing and it works great, but Barry's looks a lot better.

I just received my boom wrap yesterday afternoon. It came with no instructions or information on where to go to get the instructions. Thank You for providing a link. The boom wrap looks awesome!

Post by: Wayne Derrick on August 21, 2016, 03:12:32 PM: If I removed the boom struts on the Synergy 766 and put the boom wrap on and trim it to the correct length, do I need to adjust the main boom clamp? If so, what distance do I need to adjust the main boom clamp to? Thank you for your assistance.

Post by: Dan Minick on August 22, 2016, 09:22:02 PM: I dont believe there is a set measurement. Just slide it so it aligns with the holes in the new boom cover

Post by: dan-uk on January 24, 2017, 10:36:44 PM: Hey folks

Is there any harm in leaving the boom wrap at the manufactured length on the 766? For example, if I make a small notch adjacent to the tail control level holder and run the vertical tail fin over the boom wrap, will this be okay?

Cheers
Title: Re: 766 Boom wrap
Post by: Mike Spano on January 26, 2017, 09:40:10 AM: as long as it is not touching the tail box at all, and you drill an access hole to be able to tighten the box up, that will work fine. that is exactly how I did mine.
Title: Re: 766 Boom wrap
Post by: dan-uk on January 26, 2017, 07:45:48 PM: Thanks Mike! No contact with the tail box, but there is slight contact with the front of the tail fin. Presumably this is ok?
Title: Re: 766 Boom wrap
Post by: Mike Spano on January 31, 2017, 08:26:30 AM: no. no contact at all with any of it. it could cause a harmonic.
Title: Re: 766 Boom wrap
Post by: dan-uk on February 10, 2017, 12:26:23 AM: I trimmed a small slice of carbon adjacent to the tail fin. The wraps are being repainted at the moment so I hope I took enough off.

Post by: antsis on March 13, 2018, 10:40:25 PM: Hi

Does anyone know the weight of the wrap? I found I had to push my batteries as far forward as possible to get a slightly nose heavy CG, so don't want to add to much rearward weight.

Thanks
Ant
Title: Re: 766 Boom wrap
Post by: cml001 on March 14, 2018, 07:29:35 AM: The option boom wrap will add weight.. that’s a LARGE boom to cover. I personally like it and within my flight style it gives me no issues. This does, as u have found, require using the battery to offset the weight to correct for CG. I don’t have an exact weight figure to give you, sorry.
Title: Re: 766 Boom wrap
Post by: Wolf51 on March 14, 2018, 02:38:05 PM: @Antsis,
A carbon fibre boom would save about 67g over the alloy item. Will help with COG and offset some of the boom wrap weight if you decide to fit one.

1metre length of CF tube is available in AUS, easy to cut to size. I'm using it on my 516 and the 766 torque tube bearing supports fit nicely as well. Send me a pm if you want to know where to get it.

Cheers
