We closed up the right wing and put it on our wing rack along with the left wing. Now, we're starting on the flaperon in section 18. George was busy making the Actuation bracket from the stock material that was provided for us. George has kind of a machinist background in that he used to work for Lockheed and is familiar with the the drawings and dimensions. While George was busy with that, I was busy not reading the directions completely, again, and assembled the outboard nose ribs to the counterbalance. Yup, I did a really great job...until George pointed out that there was no mention of actually RIVETING the parts together. So, I drilled out just about all the rivets so we could install the pivot brackets and the A-1205 ribs. The photos are of George, pretending to measure for creation of some parts; of me drilling holes for the flaperon, the end of the counterbalance tube secured to the brace, and the hole that had to be drilled in the counterbalance tube.
