Wings, Flaps (Part 3)

I spent today’s session deburring and cleaning the edges of several pieces of the Left Flap.  These pieces included the FL-00003-L Spar, FL-00001-L Nose Skin, two FL-1004-L Nose Ribs, three FL-1005-L Main Ribs, and the Inboard and Outboard Rod End Rib Subassemblies.

I will debur and complete the the edge work for the remaining parts of the Left Flap during the next session.

Work Completed on Saturday, December 8, 2018

Previously, the #40 hole locations were measured and drilled in the joggled portion of the FL-1007-L Hinge Brackets.  Today, the #40 hole locations for the matching FL-1007-R Hinge Brackets were match-drilled using the left as a guide.

The picture below shows the Inboard Subassembly.  You can see the four holes in the Left Bracket (in between the clamps) that will be used as guides to match-drill the Right Bracket.  I installed the the hardware in the hole where the Subassembly will be attached to W-1025A Flap Hinge Bracket (already installed on the Left Wing).  This helped to hold the Subassembly together and tight (along with the clamps) for the match-drillling.

The Outboard Subassembly prepared for match-drilling.
