Oops - my bad! Just the torque tube holes would be ovalized, not on TP6. Duhh!

What I can't understand is after ovalizing the pip pin holes in the torque tube, what will then stop the pip
pin from just sliding out. Am I missing something here? If the pip pin balls line up with the ovalized area,
I can't see why they won't just potentially slide right out if given a chance.
2. On Classics and XS, ovalise the pip pin holes in the ends of the tailplane torque tube to prevent the pip-pin picking up actuating torque loads. Add an extra pip-pin recess of an improved design to each tail undersurface which will provide a reliable secondary retention system to prevent the tailplane half moving outboard if the sleeve should become disbonded. In the process of forming the new pip-pin recesses, key the sleeves into the structure to help prevent them becoming disbonded. Pip-pin will still enter tailplane from above. Recess in bottom surface can be filled afterwards for cosmetic purposes leaving tailplane looking as previously. Alternatively, the Europa club mod for improved sleeve retention can be incorporated at build.
