Brief Description:  Flaps and Left Aileron

I put in a good day today and got alot accomplished while celebrating President's Day. I finished riveting the right flap and put in on the "flat" table and epoxied the trailing edge. It will stay that way until tomorrow evening. Then I squeezed the rivets on the trailing edge of the left aileron. I used the special sets I ground when I did the rudder and used the hand squeezer. This is my first trailing edge using epoxy instead of proseal and I'm pretty happy with it. It's not as big of mess as proseal and it seems to work equally as well. The left flap is complete now and is VERY straight. I can't see any waves or bows in it. I then riveted the left aileron together and as soon as the right flap comes off the table tomorrow, I'll epoxy the trailing edge on this aileron. I have to open the boxes that the fuselage came in to, not only invetory, but to get the right top aileron skin out of it so I can finish.
