Date:  5-30-2011
Number of Hours:  3.25
Manual Reference:  7-9
Brief Description:  5-30-11 part 2. Flap braces

After preperations of brace edges, The braces are clecoed into position and drilled with botom skin and rear wing spar. Remove and debur holes and counter sink the flange that will have the piano hinge attached later.

Re-cleco the braces and rivit to the wing rear spars left and right. I forgot to dimple the skin before attaching the brace so it was a tight fit getting the squeezer in between the skin and brace flange with out creasing the skin. Using some wedges, was able to get the skin dimpled with out harming anything. Just took longer.

Brace is ready to accept the flap piano hinge when we get set up later. Will do the aileron side and some other things in the meantime
