Brief Description: Finishing work on left flaperon
The replacement outboard nose skin for the left flaperon arrived. I didn't like the elongated holes in the original one, which probably would've been fine but what the heck. So riveted that in place.Shot some anti-corrosion gunk on the counterbalance pipe first. Sticky stuff.
I drilled off the inboard bracket because I didn't like those rivets and decided to replace the bracket too because of elongated holes -- the spar beneath isn't bad. Also sacrificed a rib while drilling the skin rivets out for access. Ordered new rib and bracket.
But the new fuselage design for the new RV-12 iS won't be here until October or November so no rush, I guess.
I think I'll star on that outboard lighting on both wings.
