Short Description: Flap construction cont.
|
Continued assembling the L. Flap. Installed top skin and both nose skins. I learned during Aileron construction that those nose ribs can be a 2 man job to get them formed around the nose ribs and cleco'd in place. The Flap skins are even longer so i came up with a great solution using ratchet straps to putt the skins into place. Worked amazingly well. (See Image #2)
Once all cleco'd together, I install and drilled the training edge and cleco'd it directly to the table.

Skins installed.
