Congratulations!

If it works well. I'll try it. And if it's a better solution than the classic method, I'll modify this step or at least propose the two ways of cable connection in the instructions.

And I'm happy that you have now a well-working boom, because I already thought maybe I've made an error in the instructions...

Thanks for this solution! Very simple and works very well!

Only thing missing is that the sections slide into each other very soft ...

Good to hear that it is working for you too! Maybe you could try some fishing line if the cotton string is causing the movement to be slow.

Yes, that's a cool idea! I'll report!

Has anyone made a parts list of extra parts I will need to build this that are not used in the original 42009?

I built this Boom this weekend, Pretty good design, although there was some forced fit situations in around the gear area. I managed to fix the top side issue, but the bottom side, not so much, I have 1 idea I might try still. I figured the string situation out, and that works very well, the Biggest issue I have is the 3rd stage boom retracting into the 2nd stage boom, and hanging up on the flat panels. was trying to fit wheels in there, and was unsuccessful. It looks to me like the cause is the 3rd stage boom, not truly straight, as well as the 2nd stage boom. I am without a solution at this point as nothing can be added inside the second stage boom, to allow the 3rd stage to retract lifting it up & over that last 2 flat panel union. very disappointing to such a great Boom. The stock boom on the 42009 is pathetic. although I like the smooth operation with the wheels and such, but the length is very sub par. This Boom is Magnificent, if only I can solve this retracting issue.

Hello,

I am also interested in the full BOM for the boom extended, including the upgrades.

Thanks

How can I send you a PM?

Sounds like a great idea, although I don't know how to do that. Just a little computer challenged here.

Thanks for getting this. 42009 is set to be delivered tomorrow! :-)

to do so is sufficient to activate an account dropbox.com no need to have anything installed on the PC,

everything is done via browser. once the file is loaded (as is done with an attach mail address)

you can create a link that you can paste here in the thread to allow the download to all of us.

of course if you want to do it!

many thank's

You can purchase the extra parts off of bricklink.com I personally use brickstore, a free program to help get the parts that I need through bricklink.
