This hole is for a flap control push rod in the rear spar near the
centerline. The change is about 3 inches difference from the butt line. It
is structurally unsound to have 2 large holes in the spar web near the
centerline. Perhaps the flap control mechanism could be relocated using the
existing hole and lengthening/shortening the appropriate flap pushrods. But
current builders do not have adequate plans or construction manuals to
determine this. One should rely on factory expertise to answer these
questions if you can get them to either answer the phone, reply to voice mail
or respond to e-mail.

Progressing very slowly,
