Flap and Aileron Mounting (1.5)

1.5 hours

I got the hinges drilled to the aft spar for both the flap and aileron.  I was kind of concerned that it was going to be hard to get everything to line up nicely, but it ended up being pretty easy.  If you plan on drilling through the hinges in the center of each lug like you normally do, then everything just about locates itself since all the holes are already there in the skin and spar channel.

Here the hinges are just clamped to the wing to make sure the lateral placement looked right.  My assistant in the background was skeptical that any of this was going to work.





Both hinges drilled!
