Hello All.
What are the rear tie bar and pins used for.
So for all with an open opinion on this topic , this is what Europa Aircraft 
Company
say about the Tie Bar.
Which gives the full picture, and states Drag and Forward movement.
A requirement to stop the wings fold back, and Forward to stop the wing pulling
forward at high angles of attack, and there's no way this forward force would
rip the rear mounting out from the fuselage, that occurred after something 
failed
to cause the aircraft to break up.

Quote. Europa 
Tie-bar
As the trailing edge lift pin also acts to contain drag loads and the forward 
component
of lift which is produced at high angles of attack, a tie-bar will be
fitted across the fuselage to react these loads. A general arrangement of the
tie-bar assembly and associated parts is shown in figure 8.
Fig 8.
