Default Horizontal Stab Tube End Plugs

The horizontal stab tubes on my Extra 260 have punched through the end of the tube socket. I worry about the tube(s) moving to that side in flight and having insufficient support on the other. One can easily imagine the results.

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it. I hate to cut the stab open to get to the end so I can glue in another plug, but unless there is a better way I may have to.

I'm not familiar with the 260, but would threading in a 10-32 nylon screw from one side of the stab at the end of the tube be sufficient?

You can always glue the tube into one side of the stab.
The only other thing I would do would be to remove the covering in a local area and repair.

Gluing the tube into one side is the easiest fix.
