Scott,

S ...and suggestions for using the outboard bay = (inside the=20 original wing) for more fuel without any additional strength = added. =20 That is, there were no spar changes.

When going = through the=20 outer wings vs the builders' book I noted many differences in the use = of areas=20 for fuel. The book showed fuel ahead of the spar, and in = the outer=20 bay past the aileron bellcrank the book showed fuel between main and = rear=20 spars out to the tip. But in the wing itself the fuel = area=20 stopped at the aileron bellcrank rib... and each wing tank was marked = as about=20 18 gal. per side. Also, the wing has the aileron bellcrank = outboard of=20 the mounting rib vs inboard in the book.

Is there still = a way to=20 check carbon sparcap thickness, and whether there are cap strips = on the=20 ribs? ... probably too late to check, as the wings are on=20 now.

S ... believe the flap deployment mechanism is different = between=20 the 200 and 300 aircraft (if one considers the flap as part of = the=20 wing). Also a SB had the 300 flap push rods beefed up (to = 3/8" if I=20 remember correctly) since the 1/4" ones were being bent.

I'll check the = flap=20 pushrods... that may be a clue.
