Sorry, don't see to have a name for you! I would very
much advise putting the pin in the middle of the plates.
When William Mills plane broke up in. Mid air on a Max
weight VNe dive there were two things that failed and it
was never decided which was the primary factor, (although
I prefer the notion of the tail plane fixation having
failed). However one was that a front lift pin had been
drilled into the front edges of the 3 plates in the wing
root, reaching the edge of one and overlapping another,
which meant that it was taking considerable strains on a
metal to fibreglass joint which is not in the owner's long
term interests! That is not exactly a reason for being
central but a very good reason for not being anywhere near
the edge as I dare say that you cannot know precisely
where the deeper plates are situated.
