Brief Description:  Installed left flap

Tonight I lined up the left flap (once the aileron was properly installed with all of the spacers and washers) and clamped it to the flap brace. After jiggling and measuring, I drilled the hinge to the flap brace. I spent the rest of the night figuring out how to finish the inside of the left wing before starting to rivet on the bottom skins. First, I smoothed all of the conduit holes Sam Beale and I drilled last night. Next, I straightened some aluminum tubing for the pitot line. and figured out where to run it. I had to drill out some more holes for the pitot line. I could not reach the second inboard rib (the wing walk) because they are so clost together. I will have to get some sort of drill bit extension. I also puzzled out the wiring for the heated pitot. I have a small question about the electronic control module, which must be mounted in the wing close to the pitot tube. I will call Gretz Aero (the makers of the pitot tube) tomorrow. I will also need to order a union to attach the pitot tube to the pitot line and I will need to borrow the EAA chapter tubing flaring tool.
