Installed nutplates for flap hinge pins

November 21, 2011 – I have finally installed the nutplates that will secure the flap hinge pins. I got the right one done several days ago, but as soon as I installed the second rivet, I realized that I had installed the nutplate upside down. The big issue was that I had countersunk the rivet holes in the flap brace.  STUPID!!! So after I calmed down and regrouped, I made a doubler and installed it. The countersinks are now on the correct side and the nutplate is installed.
