Tail booms.
Anyone have any ideas re securing snakes down the inside of carbon tail booms?

I have used expanding foam in the past!

Re: Tail booms.
If you can get some piano wire down the snake you can use a magnet on the outside of the boom to hold the snake secure inside whilst your epoxy on it dries.

Re: Tail booms.
Thanks for those suggestions chaps, I'll give them some thought.
Both have some appeal.

Stu Blanchard's Calypsos and the Optimus F5J fuselages I have just have a plug of blue foam (two holes for the snake outers) pushed halfway down the tapering fuz and secured at both ends.
