A few months ago, Tony Munday (owner of SafeAir1) contacted me about the pitot mast I purchased from them. There were apparently some instances of cracking in the weld that joins the mast to the mounting plate and he is replacing all of them free of charge. He sent me the new mast, but I’ve been so busy with Phase 1 and other maintenance that I haven’t had the time to do the swap. I had a good chunk of time today, so I decided to take care of it. Drilling out the old mast was fairly straight forward, but I decided to attach the new mast with screws in case I ever have to take it out again in the future. I dropped the new mast down through the hole and then drilled all nine spots for #6 screws. I then pulled the mast out and added nutplates on the mounting plate.
