Brief Description:  LH Flap Complete

The sealant had cured for 72 hours and it was time to do the final riveting. The trailing edge was very straight and I didn't have much, if any, twist in the flap. I used a flat set to initially set the TE rivets using the method in section 5. I did the final squeeze using the angled set from Cleaveland Tools and it turned out great.

Most of the bottom skin is riveted with blinds except for the inboard and outboard ribs which have enough access to squeeze solid rivets.

Overall the flap looks good. I just need to wipe it down and get rid of some of the excess sealant on skin and this one is done. Next up is the RH flap.
