I've been working on welded parts for the last few days. I dropped my rudder pedals off at the REAL welder the other day. I'm hoping to get them back in a day or two. In the mean time I've been making other parts. I'm just tacking most things in place to be completed by my guy, but I figured I could do the flap arm pins. No problem. The more I experiment, the better I get. FYI, working with this plate is very time consuming, so I'd do as much as you can before farming it out if you're interested in saving money.
