Flaps getting Fabric

Started working on fabric covering of the flaps.  We started by cleaning the dust off the flaps.  After hanging around for a few months, a lot of dust had to be removed.  Once cleaned, we added three good coats of adhesive on the leading edge and ribs.  The manual specifically calls for adhesive NOT to be added to the trailing edge.  After allowing the adhesive to dry, the the fabric was placed on the flap frame.  Holes were added for the two hinges points and the pulley attach point.   The fabric was glued to the the the leading edge, fabric attach plates, and finally the ribs on the bottom side.  Hours: 5
