Joshua's RV-9A Project

Weighted down and clamped the right flap flat with a pair of 2×4′s, several buckets of clecos, and a bag of pea gravel, then proceeded to attach the nose skins.  Double-checked flatness, inserted the trailing edge wedge, and drilled the TE to the table.  I’ll need to finish this flap to the point of disassembly before continuing with the left flap, since the opposite flap’s TE wedge is used to locate the wedge for drilling, and the right wedge is now securely clecoed in place.

Also looked through the book, and, failing to find a specific notation to install the bushings into the flap brackets, decided they must have been part of the “assemble bracket per drawing” instruction.  So, I pressed them into place using a C-clamp and block of wood.
