My original plan was to replace both TP5 and TP6 with a single tube.
After removing the TP5 I realized that there was no point at all in removing
the TP6. It is only necessary to ensure that it cannot move inboard, which
would then allow the TP12 to disconnect from the tailplane etc. etc.
I simply replaced the TP5 with a longer alu tube from ACS, part number
03-37900. This butts right up against the TP6, and there is no way this can
ever move inboard. The tube is made of 6061 T6 aluminum.
Advantages:
A straightforward mod.
No cutting into the tailplane.
No misalignment problem with TP5 and TP6.
A permanent solution. ( assuming that there was a problem in the first
place.)
If anyone is interested I can give more details on how I did it.
Cheers,
Karl
