Thanks to the responders, 



and for all of the measurements, and the few extra that came in recently.

They all appear pretty representatively similar.  That is plenty enough to

see that my cross tube length may be on the smaller side, but is pretty

close to what most are measuring. Of course, mine is uncut, and it appears

that some have been trimmed already. Still, that does not explain how far

off it appears to be.



Now I am looking at flap lengths. Maybe a few more measurements will help

towards solving this puzzle. Flap lengths measured from flange to flange are

variable though, but If one measures from the outer flap closeout (on the

wing) to the drive plates (where the pin inserts, on the flap), I think this

would be helpful. This describes the would-be flap containment area,

assuming the cross tube butts up against it inboard, and the flap butts

against the outboard closeout at the tightest flap position setting.  Easier

for those folks that haven't filled their wing yet, to see the plates

through the glass flange. See attachment for further detail...hopefully I

described it well enough as to make it understandable.  I measured mine too,

but misplaced the paper it was written on I will have to do it again.

My flap cross tube on kit 497 is 44.6 inches as supplied by Europa (untrimmed and without bearings).



My flap dimensions are shown below, measured from the closeout web between the flap and aileron and the inboard face of the wing pin mounting plates.



Port  1908 mm or 75.2 inches



Stbd  1912 mm or 75.3 inches



Hope this helps.
