No pics today, nothing really to show. I got to the hangar this morning and started with the flap brace. Got it match drilled, deburred, dimpled, primed, and installed. It was an interesting task though, as I messed up and already put the top and bottom skin on. I don’t know how I forgot about this, but I did. There’s a guy at the airport that hangs out there alot named Mervin – He helped me with this task. I had to reach all the way in through the inspection hole, through the adjacent rib, and up to the rear spar to buck these rivets. We checked to make sure the shop head was correct using a boroscope. It took some time, but we got them all done. I also made the aileron brackets, and got them installed as well.
Due to the high level of humidity, come 4 o’clock, I had enough. Closed up shop and went home! Tomorrow, I’m going to get the bellcrank and pushrods in the right wing. I also plan on making some kind of jig to center the ailerons so I can start on installing the flaps! Till then, goodnight!
