Brief Description:  Finish Left Flap

I used the dremel to remove two loops from the other half of the flap hinge and set it aside.

Used the squeezer on the bottom of the spar to set rivets for the skin/spar/hinge. Started at the center and set every other rivet. Turned the flap around in the stand and used the gun and tungsten bucking bar to set the top skin rivets. Went from center out, setting every other rivet, then went back and filled in the rest. Turned the flap again and filled in the rest of the bottom rivets.

Set the pulled rivets in the outboard rib to spar. To set the pulled rivets in the angle on the inboard end the holes were too close to allow the rivet head to sit flush. I ground away a small flat area to allow the rivet heads to seat properly and set those. Used the squeezer to finish off riveting the two doublers together. Second flap done.
