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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Thanks.
