Finally, a solution for mounting your iPad in the Vans RV-8 cockpit! These concentric rings suit the Vans RV-8, mounted through the 2" lightening hole in the 4130 steel windshield bow gusset to attach a MyGoFlight quick release base on the port or starboard (or both) sides of the cockpit. Together they form a strong, vibration free and convenient installation. A handy alternative to an iPad knee-mount that typically interferes with the controls. Each kit comes complete with four M4 x 16mm stainless screws. Note: Evident in the photos and described in the included fitting instructions, the four mounting holes slightly overlap the edge of the 2" 4130 steel lightening hole, which requires some metal removal aligned with each hole using a small round file, followed by de-burring. This won't materially effect the structural integrity of the windshield bow (in normal or rollover situations), but does positively prevent the iPad mount from rotating in flight should the mount be installed loose. |
