Thanks a lot!

If memory serves me correctly it was the original factory aircraft G-YURO that had an incident, where on assembly of the wings to aircraft, one flap pin failed to engage the cross tube, instead going down the side of it. This was not noted until after take off where by the aircraft returned and landed OK. This prompted a bulletin from the factory to cut an inspection hole in the Flap root close out to check that the pin was correctly engaged. I decided instead to fill in the Flap root closed out with foam and fibre glass, building in a tapered cone leading to the pin. On assembly of the wings to aircraft the Flap cross tube enters the large opening of the cone, as the flap cross tube nears the pin the tapered cone dimensions are now just slightly bigger than the Flap cross tube, centralised to the pin, this forcing the Flap cross tube to self align with the pin, the tapered cone at this point becomes a straight tube to the base of the pin. I do not need or have an inspection hole and regarding the incident above should the pin come out of the tube for what ever reason!!! it has nowhere to go but straight back into the tube.
