It also prevents the board from becoming tail-heavy\/sticky. Plus finding a good working setup with 5 boxes is just the opposite of plug \u0026amp; play. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p9\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThe mini mast track reduces the weight in the critical nose area.
