HI Rick
Did mine while washing the underside of the wing. Plugged the end and
drilled a small hole straight through the tube, ie one hole each side.
Been working fine for 10 years with no difference in ias.
Regards
Pete
PS this solution has the advantage you can't knock the end off again.

The static probe appears to have a broken stub of plastic tube in the end, but
I don't know what has broken off. Does anyone have a picture of the standard
XS probe? I expect full functionality will resume if I block the end and drill
the side of the static tube to create a vent, albeit with recalibration of
ias/tas.
