  Jan 06, 2013     Flaps assembly       Category: Flaps

The left flap skin flattened a little and a new one would be $100, so we decided to work with the one we have. We bent it deeper with the 2" pipe and drilled it to #30. Both flap skins are cleaned and ready to prime. We moved the left wing to the work table, squared it, and clamped it to the table. We peeled the plastic from around the rivet holes.

We were unhappy with the fit of the left flap skin, so we clamped it flat to the table and will try re-bending it later. We successfully bent the right flap skin using a 2" plastic pipe, drilled it to #40, then to #30.

Clecoed the flaps together and riveted. We had to drill some of the holes (8 on each flap) out to #11 to accommodate the specified rivet. Bent the leading top skin for the flap as specified. For the other flap I think we need a wider diameter pipe to roll the edge. Fitted the left flap skin and transfer drilled #40
