Brief Description:  Static line install and flap motor.

1. Finished rivitting the 2 gussets to the top longeron and rear seat back upper bulkhead. Only had two rivits but they could not be reached with any of the squeezer yokes I had. So they were bucked instead.

2. Measured then drilled 1/8 hole in each side of tail cone for static line. Installed the pop rivits to act as the static ports, only had to remove the pop rivit stem. I used RTV to secure in place and then added the plastic line to each one. I don't like this much and will investigate a better more secure way. Thye line was secured to bulkhead as depicted in drwg with tie wraps. The

3. Some misc stuff: Removed the 2 ears off the plastic vans wisper flow and hose adapter for the back seat area. SSanded down the radius and drilled matching holes in the hose adapter. Applied RTV for better seal and clamped together to dry.

4. Safety wired the flap motor arm to the rod end as called out. The hole was previously drilled in the build. Installed back in fuselage on the left side.

5. Installed the flap weldment to floor and then to the flap motor. Tested with 12 volt battery. This will be left in place through wing fitment since I want to leave the floor out as long as feasible.
