Default TE Probe install?

The T/E line needs to be anchored inside the tail boom, away from the elevator push-rod and bell-crank. Slick way to accomplish this is to make up 2 anchor rings from 1" plastic pipe cut to 1" lengths. With the T/E line in place inside the tail boom, goop up the outside of the rings with epoxy and flox then slide them down the T/E tube placing (one, 1/3 way and the other 2/3 way down the tail boom). When anchors are located at the proper spot inside the tail boom, allow the T/E line to lower down so that the rings come to rest on the bottom of the boom. The epoxy and flox mix will slowly ooze down and stick to the inside of the fuselage. This is from Will Schuemann as a way to add aft statics for the 301 Libelle.
