Installed the flap and aileron hinge plates for the right wing. We were more careful this time when drilling through the ribs for the flap hinges by drilling through one hinge plate and the rib before lining up the 2nd hinge plate. This helped guarantee that no holes were accidentally drilled off center, as we didn't really want to make another hinge if we didn't have to.
The hinge plates and mating surfaces were scuffed and cleaned, and then were epoxied and riveted in place. Below is a picture of one of the hinges. Six hinges total were installed (three on both the aileron and flap for the right wing). Hours 3.5
