Wings, Flaps (Part 29)

To start the session, I applied the 3M Adhesive Transfer Tape to the long and short Trailing Edge “V-Channels”.

Pictured below is the Bottom Skin and Trailing Edges clecoed into place on the Flap.  The MK-319-BS blind rivets will be installed where the vertical rows of rivets are located.  However, the two vertical rows of clecos on either end will have solid AN426AD3-3.5 installed in these locations.  The Trailing Edge will accept AN426AD3-3.5 solid rivets.

Here are all the rivets installed in the Bottom Skin.....

.....and the Top Skin.

Earlier in this section, I cut the Trailing Edge “V-Channels” as instructed in the plans.  However, I cut the ends just a little longer to match the ends with the Top and Bottom Skins.  The picture below shows where I left the overlap on the V-Channel.  (You can also see three of the rivets set in the Trailing Edge).

The two pictures below show the Inboard and Outboard edges after the V-Channels were sanded and made even with the Top and Bottom Skins.


Lastly, the four bushing were pressed with a C-Clamp into their home on the Flap Hinge Brackets.  Below is an example of two of them.
