Once those top pop rivets were in, I finished up assembling the flaps
except for the bottom rows of rivets along the flap spars where the
hinges attach. I need to get the ailerons mounted before drilling the
flap hinge so that I'm certain the trailing edges of the flaps will
align with the trailing edges of the ailerons. I also need to ensure good
edge distance for the hinge holes.
Back when I was installing the inboard ribs, I noticed these marks on the
bottom skin. They occurred while driving the rivets that attach the
bottom skin to the inboard rib.
