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

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.

@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
