Title: Forstmann Boom Improvements Post by: US 4618 on December 18, 2014, 09:25:42 AM I just dropped the cash on a Forstmann boom for my DN....it has some real advantages but also is a little prehistoric on the outhaul and the block adjustments. What improvements are you guys doing? I like the outhaul slug and shackle on my Bryant boom but it isn't easily transferred to the Forstmann Boom w/o cutting the extrusion.
Ideas? Pictures? Thanks in advance JB US 4618 Title: Re: Forstmann Boom Improvements Post by: Geoff Sobering on December 18, 2014, 11:53:39 AM Most people I know are using the stock outhaul.
The stock block-adjustments are pretty basic. I've seen various systems where people link the blocks together (ex. with a strip of aluminum or fiberglass) and use a pin or screw to adjust three hangers at once from the rear of the boom. Sorry, I don't have any photos... :( |
