Blade 230S Tail Boom Repair/Tail Quick Disconnect

thingiverse

I have no love for the person who decided to cut an obviously weakness into a thin walled carbon fiber tube and call it a product. I broke my second boom on my E-Flite 230S V2. I have about 4 minutes of flight on the model. My landings were not hard. Each break was near where the tail boom enters the body. After I filled off the broken portion of the boom (about 3 CM), I designed, in On-Shape, an adapter which has a slotted feature for the wires which are fed through the boom, and then mounts where the boom goes in to the body and has a cup to accept the remainder of the broken boom. As a bonus, the wires now route around the chassis instead of through it so the tail is easily removed.
