Would some kind soul please measure for me the distance between the inboard
face of W26 articulating lift pin socket and the centreline of the rotating
barrel in W26. Then the distance from the barrel centreline to the outboard
extremity of the W26.
The longer lift pins supplied with Mod 74 don't work with the earlier
non-articulating W26's, unless the wing root is counterbored, which would
weaken the very area that started all this modification in the first place.
I'm trying to work out whether the supplied longer lift pins (which have the
pip pin hole drilled c.1/10" further inboard) would work directly with the
later articualting W26, as a bolt-compatable swap without having to reset
the fuselage sides.
