Nothing else to work on so starting on flaps. Got some of the initial fit up and fabrication done. Opted to drill the lightening holes in the spacers. Doesn't save much weight by looks cool.

Removed the tab from the main ribs. Just used snips and then a needle file to smooth it out. And little scotchbrite to finish it off. Tedious but easy.

Still a ton of deburring to do. I'll do it all at the end before priming.

8/23: started initial assembly of the left flap just to see how big it really is going to be. It's pretty big. Got everything cleco'd together and marked the trailing edges to trim. Trimmed on the bandsaw and reinstalled.

8/25: had to uncleco the trailing edge so I could cleco it it to the door as I drill the trailing edge. Got it set on the door with just a little overhang on each end. Left clecos in the overhangs for wedge alignment. Then one at a time, started drilling every other hole while inserting clecos through the wedge and into the door. Then went through and picked up all the holes I skipped. The. Unclecod everything a again and shifted the flap over to get the ends that were previously overhanging. Got both ends and then removed all the clecos again and put it in the cradles. Slow going but I think it worked and should be straight. Last step on the page was to match drill the flap brackets with the hardware installed for alignment.

Ready to disassemble, deburr and prime.

8/26: got everything taken apart and realized that I never match drilled the holes in the leading edge ribs. Scoured through the instructions and couldn't find where it says to do it, but I figure now is the last good opportunity to do it. So cleco'd the leading edge back together with the spar and ribs.
