My stab keeps coming loose, is there a slick way to fix this? The stab is mounted with a bolt going thru the stab and the tube near the tips. If you dont get the holes lined up just right there is a little side to side play which eventually becomes worse. I can move the tips of the stab up and down about 5 deg's and thats not good. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it? I just ordered a new carbon fiber tube and thought about putting some wooden plugs in the ends where the bolt goes thru and drilling and tapping thru the tube and wood but this still may leave some side to side slop. I need the stabs to be held tight against the fuse. I definately dont want the stab to fly off so looking for some bullet proof ideas. Thanks, The Yo |

A bullet proof method I have found is best for that type of stab attachment is to drill the tube where you want the holes, then put some wood inside like you mentioned, but with a blind nut. Make sure the bolt lines up perfectly with the blind nut then epoxy it in place. ![]() Vic
