[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Re: Results for Boom End Caps!

[Grant Saviers]

I had a A4S with caps and the boom filled up with water.  A better 
solution that I discovered is an end cap with a small hole on the bottom 
backed with some coarse open cell foam fit inside the boom/element to 
keep the bugs out.
