The flap is put together by drawing a centerline down
the three flanges of each rib (top, bottom and front). I did this and
then drilled the ribs to the spar by lining up the centerlines. The
bottom skin was then clecoed to the spar and the holes in the ribs were
drilled the same way. I then took out the clecoes and
clamped the hinge to the top skin. I lined up the hinge with the outside
edge of the skin and positioned it so that there was 3/8" between the
hinge axis and center of the hole in the skin. I then match drilled the
hinge using the holes in the skin to guide.
I think the instructions could use some improvement in
the section on the flaps. I didn't find anything on how to laterally
position the hinge or how much to cut off.
I peeled more plastic, deburred the holes in the hinge,
skin and spar and then dimpled the holes in the skin. I then started
countersinking the holes in the spar. |
