Ordered what I thought were the correct ones but the ones that arrived have very short arms so I am assuming these must be off of a ep100, now can't be bothered to muck around so have stuck these on, it has made a lot of difference to the COG I can now have my battery full inserted on the battery tray, wouldn't have thought it would have been this much difference but it is on mine. doesn't seem to have effected the flying characteristics! not sure I have saved any weight but might be a very small amount.,

Remember that the boom is a long lever arm so weight changes are exaggerated compared to changes in close to the COG.

On another note, I am trying to determine the boom diameter and # of teeth on the tail shaft of a Gaui 200 to see if it might fit another project/problem I am trying to solve. Could you help me with that?

i removed my boom struts. the only difference i've noticed was a little more vibration in my tail boom.
