Today we began work on the right flap. Things progress much quicker when you're doing everything in reverse but nothing is new. We first took a divide an conquer approach. I (Scott) manufactured the attach angle and filler piece while Darren did some prep work and match drilling on the nose assemblies. Next we began assembly of the ribs to the skeleton, match drilled the skins as required and then match drilled the trailing egde to the table. In addition we had to drill some holes in the table to allow the clecoes to pass through the table. For an all metal plane we sure spend a lot of time working with wood.
I thought I would play with the pickture a bit, and put the low res picture in the entry, and hyperlink them, so you can get a larger image by clicking on the images below.
