If you fly like I fly, a little tougher PowerPod would be a good thing... here's a try building one! The two brackets weigh about 5-6 grams together and the epoxy another gram or two. They probably push the total weight of a well-covered PowerPod from about 28-29 grams up to about 35 grams.
You can build an almost exact relica (mine ended up 2 1/16th inches wide instead of 2 ") of the foamboard PowerPod shell from 4mm. coroplast, but that is going to add about 15 grams more than just foamboard (from 11 grams to about 26 grams). You will save the weight of the tape as the tape wouldn't add any strength to coroplast which is already bulldog tough.
I may experiment with both.
