- Then the hinges were clamped into place for pilot drilling
- All the pilot holes were completed in the flap hinge, and clecos were installed as I went along. Then all the holes were up-drilled to size.
- The aileron hinge was taped and clamped, but not drilled.
Flap hinge notched around reinforcing plate.
Double-sided carpet tape.
Cleco clamps also help hold the hinge while pilot drilling.
