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