Is it really cold in Christchurch? Cold in UK right now! I reckon all 
the 747 vapour trails are reflecting heat out and helping to cool the 
planet!

I admit to trying to guess what Andy is thinking but my understanding is 
that the object of the proposed exercise is to prevent the pip pin from 
pulling through the tailplane structure and uncoupling the drive pins. 
This is just a back up in case of failure of the TP6 bush bonding.

I was puzzled by the insistence on a "Minimum" area of BID lay up fore 
and aft. However this will be more difficult to pull through the foam 
core ( and the skin) than the cylindrical structure many of us have 
built. The PFA amendment also insists on a flox corner with the skin, no 
doubt for the same reason.
Open to correction?
Any comment Nev?
