Hi

The wire is not the issue. As it currently is it not loose. But I did
place it nicely in regards to the boom and it's movement. The boom it
self is free to move without issue.

I am going to fix a lot of minor issues after the weekend, then I am
going to post more pictures. I have posted new pictures here, they are
hopefully more detailed then before.
