Left Wing Aileron/Flap Attachment

The left wing is really starting to come together.  The aileron and flap attach brackets (six for each) were cleaned up and deburred.  As per the builder's manual, the brackets were paired up and labeled to keep them together until final assembly.  One bracket at each attach point was marked for pilot holes and then drilled and the holes were deburred.  A total of six brackets were drilled, three for the flaps and three for the ailerons.  The bracket were slid into the slots cut previously with the the drilled brackets on the fuselage side of the wing ribs.  The brackets were roughly aligned and then clamped in place. Oil-sintered bronze bushings were placed into the flap and aileron hinges and they were attached to the brackets using AN3 hardware.  Some tweaking was done to get the flap and aileron in position.  There will be more adjustments done when we resume.  Hours: 2
