It's a brace I made up to add strength to the bulkhead, the skin came off eBay, from a Polish company call RC Colours

Can't beat having a go at making your own parts though, it only took 20mins to knock up the brace using my Dremel. Next is a V2 made out of 3mm alloy

Yep.....made our first front braces out of 2mm pre peg Carbon sheets.
Braces for the rear of the front bulkhead was made out of a 2mm aluminum 90 degree angle connecting the bulkhead to the top deck mounts.
This was done 1-2 weeks after the release of the XB4.

Now with the V2 bulkheads we only run the front brace with 4mm towers.

Although my homemade ones have performed flawlessly for months I now prefer to buy machined ones as the fit and finish are a step up from mine
