Brief Description:  Right Wing Flap Hinge Work

With the right wing skins riveted, I moved the wing back to the stand to finish off the flap hinge. I temporarily installed the aileron and pulled the flap down from storage and verified that everything still lined up the way it was supposed to. With the flap and hinge in place, I measured for where I wanted the flap attach pins to go. I am opting for the split pin attach method and will use two pins to join the hinges from the flap to the wing. I cut off two of the wing hinge eyelets and one of the flap eyelets so there will be a place for the pins to slide in. I also sanded smooth the cut areas in preparation for priming.
