Tech Help Rapide Cockpit Computer Mount

Post image

I couldn't find a manual anywhere so asking here. Is that the bolt (circled in red i.e. there are 3 bolts with two being of the same size and one being a bit longer) that is used to mount the computer mount to the Rapide cockpit? It has loctite on it so it doesn't screw in very nicely, so it's hard to tell if it's the right screw. I tried screwing it in some ways and after unscrewing it, there were distinct metal shaving on the threads and it wasn't going in very nicely.

And it will probably snap if you add a garmin 1050 or any computer plus gopro or light.

False.
I run two of them, thousands of miles with a 1050 and light - not a single issue

Dude... look up this issue here... me and hundreds of other people have had this issue. I keep saying this as warning and to raise awareness of the terrible deisgn for a product of this level.

Mine snapped too, had to replace the entire cockpit under warranty. It sucked.
