For those stretching exercises

[IamCxZ]

If anyone is interested...

Got myself a BEAM E5, the aluboom is 17mm and ~555mm long.

Not that BEAM parts is widely available though

Just placed an order for three packages of E5 booms.

Where did you buy those booms from?

The Beam E5 booms arrived today. The one I tested with the new style tail case fit perfect. The old style tail case should work fine also. The boom is 555mm, 17mm OD and 16mm ID. I can not wait for the rest of the parts to start coming in now.

I may have missed it but what’s the advantage of using the Beam tail as opposed to just using a Trex 500 tail when stretching the Chase?

[IamCxZ]

The BEAM boom is the right diameter ?

IamCxZ,

The E5 boom is perfect. Well worth the extra cost in shipping.
After doing the mod for C420 w/ G420 gearing the Protos 500 stretch boom is about 4-5mm too short. The P500 booms works but it is short going all the way through the boom mounts in frames. E5 boom will remove the fear of a failure here.

e92.M3,
The Trex 500 belt will work on a stretch but I`m talking about the boom. I don`t think a Trex500 boom fits the Chase.

Old Trex500 boom is 16mm, new is 19mm.

I tried a joke, didn't translate well, sorry

I suck at getting jokes. Sometimes they go right over me.

The old style Chase tailcase fits the E5 boom better than the protos500 boom.

Thanks guys.

Clearly i switched the T500 boom for the belt when stretching. So now it's the P500 (which is a bit short) and the Beam boom that is used instead.

I think i should just avoid reading all of your posts about this coz it's been making me "itchy" to do something. I was supposed to ask how much is the Beam boom but never mind. I can't really do any mods with my first Chase as I've been using it as test mule for something. And second one that i just bought is not shipped yet.

The P500 stretch boom is fine for doing a 380 stretch.
