Brief Description:  More Flap work

So tonight I was able to get some more done on the flaps. I am jumping off of the wings again because I did not order enough of the LP4-4 (longer rivets for thicker spar) blind rivets originally. So while I await the post man with the Van's package...I will get some flap work done.

First I countersunk all the holes in both spars, bottom side only as that is where the flap hinge goes. Then, I took the previously drilled bottom skins and de-blued and deburred both the right and left skins and both hinges. Then I assembled the top skins onto the skeleton and drilled the holes. Next I will need to deblue, and debur the top skins. It will be warmer this weekend, so it will be a good time to prime. I will shoot for that goal…
