    Anyone know of an easy way to get a replacement adapter for a RAM suction mount for the Sentry? Foreflight support sent me to uAvionix support who promptly sent me to RAM support who promptly sent me back to Foreflight support.

    The unit was bought used and the part is simply missing. The suction mount works fine, but it's missing the mount quick-connect (attached with 2 screws) that the Sentry uses to attach.

    uAvionix sells a part for their SkyEcho 2 that looks identical, but Sentry isn't mentioned on their site at all. Thanks!

    I would assume the adapter to the sentry has to be something uavionics made. Anything with the right size ball will attach to the rest of RAM’s stuff.

    Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place. Call uavionix on the phone and ask for a replacement.

    He’s missing the ball mount itself, not the screws.

    I know, but I couldn't resist the movie quote.

    Assume you have found by now, but Sporty’s sells them. $10 bucks for just the adapter and $20 for the adapter and suction
