I broke my TE probe at the fin socket. (Imagine cussing and dirt kicking)
After a bit more cussing, I managed to fish the broken end out of the fin socket. (Of course, I did this AFTER assembling the Nimbus.) The TE probe appears to have been a RU single function type with aluminum two-hole tip, O-ring end that inserts into the 8mm fin socket and carbon fiber tube between. The break was at one of the O-ring grooves. The probe forward of the break is good. It seems possible that a new O-ring plug end could be epoxied to the carbon tube. Q's Should I just buy a new probe? Is there a source for the aluminum O-ring part to repair the broken probe? Should I abandon the fin mounting altogether and consider converting to a less vunerable fuselage probe over the wing? Bill Daniels |
