[C38] boom failure

[Glenn Terry]

All,

I want to thank everyone that weighted in on my boom failure.  There is a wealth of knowledge out the.  There were many factors weighed into my final decision to replace with a z-spar 360 boom.

Particular thanks to:

Phil Gay
Tom Troncalli
Max Soto
Alden Andre

I have a few pictures if anyone is interested.  There is some kind of filter on the listserve that does not allow emails with attachments to go through.  If you email me directly I will forward you the pictures.  Let me know if you would like a few pictures of the broken boom also.

Thanks to all.

Regards,

G!enn
