How thick is the pipe of the control column in a Mooney

[NicoN]

Just a short question on Easter:

How thick in outrer diameter is the pipe that holds the yoke in a Mooney?

I am just in the process of ordering a RAM-Mount clamp for my M20K.

Reason behind: An accident report was published where an aircraft suffered sever damage, because the A/P!!!! and the owner together decided to clamp a holder on the control column so it was blocked more or less in neutral position!!!  So, pushing the elevator was not possible.

Of course, we also have a removable clamp which could be mounted wrong, so I need a more solid solution which securely clamped in the correct position 

RAM-Mount offers "Torque RAil Mounts" in different sizes.

Any recommendations?

We are using the middle arm together with an X-Grip for iPad mini. All in size "B"

I used this on my M20J. It's a RAM Torque Medium Rail Base for .75" - 1" dia. Mounted aft against the yoke casting it does not interfere with full forward movement of the controls.

Okay, thank you.
