The starboard side aileron quick connect (CS15S and W16S) will have to 
be relieved to allow for the extra length of the pip pins versus the 
1/2" bar w/ handle.  Look at the port side aileron quick connects 
(CS15P and W16P) and you can see the area relieved.  The same thing 
would have to be done on the starboard side.

Good question.  Especially as I now have two functional wing spar pip 
pins to use if it is OK.
