Brief Description:  Install Right Flap, Updrill Leading Edge Skin

Three big tasks today:

1. Fit the flap to the inboard lower wing channel. Also required me to check the aileron for fit alongside the flap. So far they both look good. I drilled (pilot size) and updrilled (final rivet size) the bottom skin, rear channel, and flap hinge.

2. Updrilled the bottom part of the leadig edge skin to final rivet size and put it away for a while. I also updrilled the nose ribs to final (A5) rivet size using a right-angle drill.

3. Fabricated and installed the top skin spanwise stiffeners and bellcrank channel supports. Like the same L-angles on the bottom skin, after storing the leading edge skin and nose ribs, I stood the wing back up on edge (on the main spar) to measure, cut, fit, drill out and prep all the L angles for these 7 parts.
