My boom graphics

[whytlotus]

I wanted to try some boom graphics on this build to help with visibility. Orange seems to work best for my eyes. Didn't want to do a solid wrap as others do, so this was my solution. Kind of a pain to apply evenly, but it didn't turn out to bad. Needed to get these on so I can put the tail push rod guides on.

Nice. Where did you get the materials from?

Got them from a local guy. He mainly does stuff for planks, but he can do just about anything you request. Was about $10.00 for everything and he gave me one extra of each piece.

Very handy. Thanks.

Looks good! It's a nice bit of detail.

I find that the massive diameter of the boom helps quite a lot. At the opposite end of the scale in boom diameter terms is the Kasama Faifa which is so thin it can start to disappear at a distance.

I got the brightest orange flourescent tape I could find and ran some down the boom (this tape is about 1cm wide). It really helps a lot.

Thanks for the compliments....

What did you put on your blades to make them visible? Do the holo stickers work well? Never used them.

Nice lookin boom!

Self sticky monokote florescent orange or yellow works well.

I used some white adhesive vinyl sheet on mine. I cut out about 2 inch wide stripes with a pinstripe and made sure they were all the same weight etc.
