It depends on the loads applied to the tube. In many cases the bonds is enough with good surface prep. Next step up is to drill dimples and coat with flox. then bolts as you suggest. Or bolts drilled

Sounds like a good project for someone wanting in the air quick. Keith

Fantastic! Good Work. Keith

I like that Tom Keith

Where is your pitot tube?

I agree, the nose is a very good location. No deployment mechanism, turn it on in any flight regime, no shadows, no vibration no heat.... I used a High beam/low beam so I get both taxi and landing ang

No Mike rants ate definitely encouraged in these times. Thanks for the insight on the UK way. Wow thought we had it bad. Fly high fly fast

Really Ground Runs Only? What in the heck is the science behind that???

I'll take one at $350 including shipping? Keith

Oh I see. So do you have anyway to lock it from the outside? I don't on mine either but perhaps that would be nice. Keith

I was referring to the rod further up. Looks to be about an inch from the pivot. It has a slight bend and goes thru the IP. Isn't that an exterior lock? Keith

Bill, Got a photo of the locking part of the unit forward of the instrument panel? Keith

Many claim they add roll stability by straightening the air flow. Possible but I'm skeptical
