This boom is ideal for lightweight low drag tail booms, especially for discus launched gliders (DLG), small electric, F3-RES and FF models.
Suitable for use with our Blaster V mounts. Note the weight is for the full 1m length. When cut down to a shorter length suitable for a DLG the boom weighs about 15g. The Blaster V mount sits approx 77 cm from the wide end, so it is okay to order the boom with the narrow end cut, you don't need it full length.
If the boom is cut down to 88 cm long, with the narrow end cut, the diameter at the narrow end is approx 9.2 mm.
Quantity discounts available for orders of 10 or more.

Excellent product and service. Ordered in the afternoon delivered the next morning. The boom is very lightweight and first class quality. I highly recommend Hyperflight and the products they sell

Great value solution for 1.5m DLG boom. Light, stiff and looks brilliant. Dispatch and packaging as ever 1st class. Thanks.
Beautiful product! Great quality, though does not resemble the product picture (Does not have the woven pattern.) but no reason to be upset, since the product is so excellent!
The product arrived promptly but I haven't had time to use it yet
I've bought several of these booms now. They are perfect for my 1.5m and 2.3m homebuild gliders.
I couple these booms with the Sapphire fuselages and this forms the core for my electric gliders home builds.
The service and delivery from Hyperflight is always excellent.
Used for undergraduate senior design and they worked out great.
Very nice, light weight booms. Quality is good, surface appearance is good. No complaints at all.
Another great product from HyperFlight. This is a light weight, well made boom that is straight. Service and delivery from HyperFlight to the U.S. was quite fast and the product is very well padded and packed in a mailer tube for shipping.
