I recently acquired a second KLM 15 meter monobander that I want to
stack with one I already have in the air. I started to assemble it today
and found that the boom was four feet short! Should be 36 feet long, but
it is only 32 feet long.
The boom consists of 4 connecting pieces of 3 inch OD aluminum. Using a
micrometer, I measure the wall thickness to be 0.083 inches. Three
pieces are swaged on one end to fit into the next tube.
Before I try to purchase a new four foot long piece and a short insert
to extend what I have, I was wondering if anyone has any 3 inch swaged
KLM boom pieces in their junk pile they would part with.
Please contact me directly.
