Kolbers,



I was intending to block the end of my boom tube with screening, to keep all my fellow summer aviators to from getting suck inside and snacking on me. Sounds like I should reconsider my material choose. What have you used Rick?



Thanks,

For testing, perhaps use a 5 inch diameter foam disposable plate, taped into position with masking tape, and holes poked in the foam for the cables. Then if it works and makes a useful difference you can come up with a more permanent or more attractive solution.



They do make plastic insert plugs for all sizes of "mailing tubes" I think???

Don't use that insulating foam in a can I think it is called "great stuff". It latches on to the control cables in the fuselage tube so hard that you have to almost break the cables to get them to move again. Ask me how I know this...

I saved the foam from a cushion of a sofa I discarded. Cut a piece a little larger than the diameter of the boom tube, cut slices for the cables and pushed it in the cockpit end. Kept the wind out of my FireFly, stayed in place and didn't interfere with the cables.

Lube the cables well in the area of intended foam.  Get a  buddy to sit in the cockpit and operate the cables until the foam  hardens.
