Brief Description:  

Yesterday was home from Sun 'N Fun. The annual dosage of inspiration. My visit was cut short by the weather, but was well worth the effort.

So today, I bonded the phenolic inserts into the flap ribs, which didn't take a lot of time, but then I spent a lot of time figuring out that the manual had a (gasp) an error. The part numbers for the flap hinges and actuator doublers were wrong. Not only that, but thee actuator arm and the doubler, which together form the attachment for the actuator rod end, are not appropriately angled. This problem would require forcing the fit. The better answer is adding a spacer between the actuator arm and the doubler, which I'll do.

Also today I opened the hole necessarly to allow the actuator to exit the flap, after I figured out which actuator and doubler to use.
