Brief Description:  Flaps - Pulled rivets and Almost Done

The last thing was to put flush pulled rivets in four holes top and bottom on the aft inboard end. There just isn't anyway to get a bucking bar in here. Drawing calls out last three rivets but I was able to use solid rivets on one of them on each side. So only last two needed pulled rivets.

Well the flaps are done. I put it on the wing and it looks like it will be easy to make the trailing edges align with the aileron. But . . .

I can't mount them on the wing yet because I'll have to adjust hinge position relative to fuselage. So, I'll store these for now with wing. A few more things to do to the wing, and I'll be ready to start the fuselage. I'm probably 1 month from being done with wing.
