September 25, 2015 – Using the parts I previously worked on for the flap mechanism, I clecoed everything together for drilling.
Here are all the covers screwed and clecoed in place.
The left side cover has to be notched to clear the bolt for the flap motor. Here’s the rough cut before cleaning it up:
I drilled for nutplates where necessary:
Then it was time to deburr, prep and paint.
After everything dried, I started assembling some of the parts. Used the squeezer for almost everything.
I’ll still install the flap motor, but I probably won’t install anything in the airplane until later.
Time: 5:30
