Troy,
If you have not heard of the pip pin business, I assume you still have
the original 3/8" wing pins.
The pip pin is associated with the AUW increase mod whereby the wing
pins are beefed up to 1/2", a strap is laid up on the Port Spar to
contain the Stbd Spar and a tie bar is installed across the front of the
baggage bay between the rear lift pins. With this mod, the AUW of the
aircraft is increased to 621kg and the VNE is increased to 165 kts.
If you are not familiar with this mod go to the following link where you
can read all about it.
