Home -> RV-7 and RV-7A topic: pitot tube question

Author: Joseph Pav <jwpav@...> Time: Mon Oct 7, 2002 9:31 pm PDT Link


I just decided to install the Gretz pitot tube. Unfortunately, I already
drilled the hole for the standard Van supplied pitot tube. When I spoke to
Warren Gretz to order his tube, he said that his tube does not use the
standard hole. He said that there were several builders who had this happen
and they were patching the original hole. Does anybody have experience in
patching the oricginal hole and are there any pictures of the repair
available?

Thanks,

Fill it with JB Weld, sand, and then fill the top of
the hole with body filler and your done.
