Wings, Flaps (Part 21)

Today, I completed the remaining preparation and deburring work for all the parts of the Right Flap.  After the previous couple of sessions, the Spar was the last piece that needed attention.  You can’t really tell in the picture below, but all the parts have been prepared.  These parts will get treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo primer in the next few sessions.

After completing the Spar preparation, I started the process of countersinking the Trailing Edge V-Channel.  I will provide more details of this process tomorrow when I complete the countersinking.



During the next session, I will finish countersinking the Trailing Edge “V-Channel” and dimple the Top, Bottom, and Nose Skins.
