Incidentally I figured out a way to get a 4 section boom in about 5.5 studs
wide, so I will probably attempt a big brother for my AC100 some day. If
anyone can get a 5 section boom inside 6 studs, please let me know!

And Rosco, can you show us please how did you build that 4-section boom?
Maybe a 5-section boom can be built inside 6-7 studs using the same
technique.

Hi Luis, the 4 section boom just uses plates and the
2x2 - 2x2 brackets to put another layer
around the 3 section boom I used in
my AC100.
I investigated using the 2x2 - 1x2
brackets which is thinner on one side and would mean I’d have studs out on all
4 sides, but I just couldn’t make it wrap tightly enough and remain strong
enough.
It may be possible to do another layer inside 7 studs with the 2x2 - 2x2
brackets, and I may end up doing that, but it just looks a bit large.
