Wings, Flaps (Part 12)

Obviously, the first step is to cleco all the pieces together.  To begin with:

1.  The FL-00001-L Nose Skin was slid over the two Hinge Pair Subassemblies of the skeleton and clecoed to the bottom of the FL-00003-L Spar

2.  Next, the Flap assembly was then put into the cradles and the FL-00002A-L Top Skin was slid in between the Spar and Nose Skin

3.  Lastly, the Skins and clecoed to the skeleton.

Here is a view of the bottom of the Flap.....

.....and the top of the Flap.

Here is a closer picture of the internal area of inboard side of the Flap with the clecos installed.  In this view, you can also see the aft portion of the Top Skin that was not primed.  Again, this is where the trailing edge “v-channel” will be installed later in the build.

The next step is to install the rivets.
