Frans,

Good point, I could probably find the length info there.
I think my cross tube would just barely hang on, even on the ground.
Something will have to change for sure. I don't believe my flap is short,
either. It appears longer than at least one that I have seen on the Europa
owners website. Only about a quarter inch was shaved off the outboard side
flange, to allow the hinge arm to center between the dual hinge on the wing.


I will start looking through the SB's and AD's.

Thanks,

Greg

been a batch with too short flap cross tubes

to your situation as well.
