Brief Description: Finished riveting the left wing
|
|
Sam Beale and I went to dinner at the Downwind restaurant, the eatery at Peachtree DeKalb (PDK) the local general aviation airport. After a great dinner of Jambalaya, we tackled the final riveting task for the left wing. After two hours, there were no more holes in which to pound rivets and we were through! As I suspected, however, the flap hinge will not fit on the wing now since the bottom skin is all riveted on and the flap brace is in a slightly different position than it was when I mounted and drilled the flap hinge. Oh, well, I will have to use another one half of a flap hinge to connect to the other half which is already riveted to the flap itself. After drilling out two flap hinges, the third time should be the charm.
