I have a new KA rdm mast and the mast plug in the top keeps falling out. It has a number of flanges and a couple of O rings, but it is loose.
Any suggestions on the best way to secure it?

5 min Araldite works well.
you can unstick it if necessary with hot water.

Pummer's tape is quick, easy and works.

take it out and leave it out... Now you have a nice big bung-hole for the sail to meet-up with.

Sounds scary ,
But it shouldn't be,
Id do it

Id worry about other things like , boogie joint and did u give the mast base an extra twist

This is real world problems .

Replace the o rings with slightly thicker ones so the plug fits snugly
