Flap and Aileron Pulley Work

Once we were happy with the flap pulley bracket it was time to put some primer and paint on it for corrosion protection.  We bought some 2 part epoxy primer and Mike sprayed two coats on the bracket.  That was followed by two coats of a gloss topcoat paint to match the rest of the airplane parts.  Once it is fully dry we will do a final install.

We moved onto the bottom aileron pulley bracket.  Again, we were not happy with the alignment of the pulley bracket, so we built another.  With the flap pulley under our belts, we were able to make the new bracket much quicker.  While Ed did the TIG welding on the new bracket, Mike made four fabric plates that will be used around the two bottom pulleys on each wing.  One of the fabric plates is ready to be placed.  The other three are in a template form and once a custom notch is done they would be ready for placement as well.  Hours: 5
