Brief Description: Drilled new hinge to flap & wing
|
|
After drilling out the rivets on the first right flap hinge, I had to then drill the hinge to the wing skin and the flap. When I drilled the first hinge to the skin and the flap brace, I didn't like the way it came out, so in a way I am glad I have to redo it. The hinge crept a little, i.e., got a little out of parallel with the skin edge, due I think to the flap brace putting a little twisting moment on the skin and hinge. So, this time I clecoed the skin to the wing skeleton, but placed it up one hole along the ribs, so the flap brace wasn't a factor. Came out precisely parallel to the skin this time.
Perhaps now I can continue with getting the wiring and conduit ready so I can rivet on the bottom skins and call the wings complete, after only 3 1/2 years on them. At this rate, I will be about 100 when I first fly this thing.
