Default LS1 F glider - question on spar pins

Hi

We just bought a LS1f with a partner.

I noticed that the 2 spar pins are not exactly of the same lenght, overall one pin is about 1 inch longer than the other one.

I would need advice from a LS1 F owner if he knows the reason behing this and where the longer spin goes. Does it goes on the right or left side behind the pilot.

Thanks


The SZD-55 does that too, guess they were trying to save some weight. Anyway, I would put both pins in one wing (just one wing) and look for the arrangement where both pins go completely through the spar. Recommend the pins be clearly marked with something like red tape on one pin with red around the correct spar pin hole.
