                Anybody using a RIVCO PF1000 flag mount  on your E-glide?  I ordered one of these the other day, but can't find  poles that will fit snugly in the holders.  I wanted to use PVC because  it's easy to get and pretty strong, but none will fit right.  Maybe I  could use wedges to keep them secure, but I thought since RIVCO says  many people use this mount, I'd check and see.....What are you using for  poles in your PF1000 flag mounts??

                I don't. I use a 4' fiberglass CB ant on a 6" extension and standard CB ant mount. With a lanyard at halfmast my 3'X5' flies pretty well at up to 75MPH (fastest I've gone with it). Normally only fly colors around town. If I had paid cash, cost was $30.00 plus flag. Check it out in my pics. My son has same setup with 10" extension.

                Hey fritzhog, I was just looking at the RIVCO flag pole holder and it looks like it has a fairly large socket (up to 1 1/4" pole).  what it you put your PVC pipe in the socket and then drilled a hole staight through the mount socket and PVC.  You could then use a chrome screw and wing nut to secure it in place.
Just a thought.

                Believe it or not, I can fly 2 and hardly know they are there.  The  flexible whip absorbs all the energy of the flag whipping about.  Here  is a pic:
