Default New Head Stiffener for H'Bird

Well the USPS brought me a beta test article from Mark Pozzuoli today. MJP Carbon is introducing a CF head stiffener for your HummingBird/Feda/GWS Dragonfly. It's 2mm thick and does the job. No more head flex and FFF really is a lot more fun without the balooning problem. Mark tells me that these will be available in regular CF for $12.00 or colored CF for $16.00 either complete with all required hardware.
Man this hobby is fun. Keep 'em coming Mark

Here's the fully tricked HummingBird FP with the MJP Carbon Head Stiffener, red carbon fiber EDF tail fins and the MIA Micro-Flight chassis.

I had this problem some time ago. I ended up getting 2- 2.5*10mm bolts from the hobby store 4 nuts to go with it. and a lenght of 10*1mm cf strip and simply cut and drill to make mine .....
all up cost about 2 usd. ( this made 2 sets for both my heli's)

here are some pics. I am thinking of using some other material as the CF strip has sold out for now but I will let you know how I go.

No Problem Hoverup , Just one question what type of CF blades are you running? I got a set from carbonblades and they wont work at all with my setup.
They make it very unstable and impossible to control. I am at the momment still using stock blades.

Alos where did you get them from and are they any good?

The ModelSport Hornet CF FP blades are being used by a number of people with great success. Increases the headspeed which makes the BL motor very happy and also makes the H'Bird even more stable. You will not believe the improvement
