Default Question on the new Wingtubes

I got to looking at my new wing tube today and notice a small bump about 6-9 inches from the tips of the tube. It look like it was at the same area where they tend to break for the older tubes. I am keeping a close eye on this. Ill see if I can get a good picture shot of it. It probably wont even show up on the camera. I can sort of see it. Was wondering if anyone who has flown the big planes with the new tube to check theirs to make sure everything is ok.

Don't know what plane/tubes you're talking about but this is another thread that will make me look mine over closely again.

Kevin,
They don't break out at the tip. It happens right at the fuse to wing joint. I've seen two of them and both were right at that joint.
