Flap Actuator, part 2 (3.5)

3.5 hours

Installing the flap tube mount blocks ended up being a bit tricky.  They were easy to locate, but there was no way to drill the holes through the blocks into the flange they mount to.  I ended up marking the locations, then unbolting the lower splice pieces from the side panels so I could drill the four holes off of the fuselage.

Then I had to sand off the powder coating on the tube where the mounting blocks touch it, so that it could rotate without too much resistance.  I ended up installing and removing the tube like five times to adjust before I got it to move freely.  Eventually it turned out well!
