RE: Europa-List: RE: EUROPA PIP-PIN RECESS

Hi! Nigel
If you will forgive me I'd say it slightly different:- "slotted radially
in the top and underside of the torque tube"  (less room for
misunderstanding?)

One thing that has been suggested in the past but I haven't seen
mentioned this time is that, because the pip pins are there just to stop
the tailplanes moving outwards, it is worth making the holes in the
tubes slightly oval in a fore and aft plane. This ensures that the outer
tubes do not take any of the pitching load which might cause them to
disband.
