My ancient A3S (which I think I may have bought from VE9HF 25 yrs ago; and
it was old when I got it) keeps spinning the director.  No matter how many
times I tighten it - we get a good wind and there it goes.  It's currently
almost vertical.

 

Has anyone had any luck putting a hardwood (or PVC?, or other?) plug in the
end of the boom and tighten'r down against that and had this fix actually
work?

 

I feel the drinking straws at MacDonalds are likely thicker than the booms
on these old Cushcrafts, so I think that's really the problem.

 

I think it's a little bit out of warranty ;-) hee hee

 

Ideas?
