Hi Mike
I have been told by the factory (Nev and Andy) there
is only one way out: fill in order to blend it out. I took a look
on a Cessna 172, just to see how the flap and the aileron lined up:
it looked very bad. The tip-moulding, aileron and flap did not
line up at all. After the "172-inspection" I can live with small
misalignment (big misalignment blended out).
My guess is that the misalignment problem will be mentioned in the
Europa Newsletter one day.

Subject: Europa-List: Wrong Size Wingtips?
Good day All,
This is a follow up of my previous question. Thanks to those that steered me
towards the wingtips being built to the wrong dimension. I have just
finished
mounting the flap and aileron on my port wing. I also took the time to
reinstall the flap and aileron onto my starboard wing. The trailing edges of
both the
flap and aileron, on both port and starboard wings, line up just fine. But
the wingtip makes a big misalignment towards the outer end of the aileron.
Has anyone fought this problem already? What steps did you take to resolve
it? What did the factory have to say? I hope that I don't have to fill in
then
feather out both ailerons!
