Brief Description:  Drill #40 & cleco the right flap

1, Set R flap skin upside-down on rails, positioned rib 4 inside skin so marked centerline was visible through pilot holes in the front, drilled #40 and clecoed 3 holes in front of flap.

2. Repeated 1 for ribs 5, 3, 2, 1, & 6; then removed all clecoes.

3. Lifted bottom skin, positioned rib 4 inside skin so that marked centerline of rib was visible through holes in the bottom of the skin. Carefully lowered the skin so that rib was tightly placed on the inside of the skin. Used a 1x2x4' to fine tune alignment of rib as needed, then clecoed the rib to the front of the flap.

4. Starting at the trailing edge of the flap and working towards the front, drilled #40 & clecoed all pilot holes for rib 4. Then removed the clecoes from the front the flap.

5. Repeated 3 & 4 for ribs 5, 3, 2, 1, & 6.

6. Replaced clecoes on the front of the flap. Turned the flap right-side up; Found that the rib centerlines were visible through all the pilot holes.

7. Starting at the trailing edge, drilled #40 and clecoed rib 4; Repeated for ribs 5, 3, 2, 1, & 6.

8. Built a fixture to hold the flap vertically, with trailing edge down, so that I could position the hinge w/o having it sag downward while I aligned the ends of hinge with the top edge of the 25-mm flange. See Figs. 1 & 2

9. Clamped tthe ends of the hinge even with the top edges of the 25-mm flange. Again the top edge of the hinge was ~16-mm from the front edge of the flap. Used toggle clamps at each rib to hold the hinge in the correct position w.r.t. the top of the 25-mm flange. See Fig. 2

10. Drilled #40 and clecoed the hinge to the front of the flap at each rib.

11. Put the flap back on the rails, clamped the ends to the rails, then drilled & clecoed the hinge to the flap.

12. Replaced ribs 1 & 6, and drilled the end holes for the hinge. See Fig. 3
