Product Description

Arm: Mini Flex Arm – 5".
Adapter: Includes proprietary quick release adapter that is compatible with all device holders made by MyGoFlight.

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.

Quick release base allows the Flex Arm to be stowed when not in use. When in use, the arm is locked into the base wirth a tightening knob.
Concentric ring base fits perfectly within the RV-8 lightening hole found on the windshield bow gusset.
5″ Flex Arm provides exceptional adjustability.
360° rotation for portrait or landscape use.
Aircraft‑grade aluminum and stainless‑steel build.
Quick, tool‑free installation.
Compatible with all MyGoFlight device holders (sold separately).

Maximum Extension: 6″

: Q: What Vans airframes is this mount compatible with?
A: This mount is only compatible for the RV-8.
Q: I installed the ring but I cannot get the bolts through the holes. What gives?
A: during installation you must remove some metal from the windshield gusset in line with the 4 bolt holes on the mount. This prevents the ring base from spinning in use and does not effect the window bow's structural integrity.
Q: What are the measurements for the bolt pattern?
A: The bolt pattern is center to center 30mm x 38mm, 48.5mm diagonal. Our packaging has a to scale template to help with installation.
Q: Is the device holder included?
A: No, holders are sold separately.
