Default Connecting hoses to pitot/static tubes

What is the best way to secure plastic tubing to aluminum pitot tubes.
The plastic hose will slide over the aluminum tube, though it requires
quite a bit of push to get more than 1/2". Would a couple of spring
clamps work, or is something more significant called for?



Hi,
Use a hair drier to warm the plastic tube and it will slide more
easily. While the tube is still warm use a small tie wrap. Voilą!
