Hi Mike,
Step 15 on page 27-14 of my manual says cut the threads off.
I am not sure why Europa does not supply a pip pin for the stbd side.

Good day All,
Question - for those that are flying or are past the wing angle of incidence
setup stage.... the two wing spar pins that hold the wings together to the
CM......one is a nice smooth PIP pin while the other is a threaded bolt with
an
Allen wrench welded to it. Have people changed this threaded bolt to the PIP
pin, or some other more suitable pin? I have set the wings in place twice
now
and while the PIP pin is still a little snug to get in, I can do it. While
the
other side snags on the threaded portion until my wife joggles the wings in
order for it to get into place. Am I not seeing some use for the threaded
bolt
that comes later on?
