Flap bracket fabriction, continued
Hours: 2.5 | Posted in FlapsAligned and drilled the flap bracket angles that were fabricated yesterday; lots of drilling, but easy enough, with a set of 12″ bits and an angle drill to use where necessary. Clecoed on the bottom skins and back-drilled those holes into the angles as well, then removed the skins, and all the flap & aileron brackets. These parts are ready for deburring and priming. Finished up the session by clecoing the flap & aileron gap fairings in place. They need to be drilled to the wing, then they’ll be ready for prep & prime. This is the last batch of parts to prime & install before control surface fabrication begins in earnest.
No progress pictures, as the camera batteries are dead.
