Brief Description:  Fitting the reinforcing fairings in the flap openi

Having completed the fitting & drilling of the two bottom skins, and before riveting these for the final time, it was now time to fit thye Aileron & Flap opening fairings that cover the rear of the rear s[par.

No real detail about rivet spacings is provided and also because I had decided to extend the top skins further towards the rear in the aileron & flap areas, (I didn't like the large gaps along the top of the wing), I decided to use the standard 32 mm rivet spacing along the stiffened skin trailing edge.

To keep the extended trailing edge of the top skin straight while I was drilling the rivet holes through the fairing, spacer & top skin, I used the aileron spar as a straight edge.
