Some friends from work came over after work today to help me get the wings out
of the jigs and into the cradle. Thanks Rich, Kevin, and Kirby!

Afterward, I decided to finish up the flap mounting. Here I've removed a couple
tabs from the right flap.
|
|
I also removed a single tab from the right wing and drilled the holes for
this nutplate. I put in a AN496AD3-3.5 rivet and spent some time trying
to figure out how to buck that sucker.
|
|
Finally I just said screw it, drilled the rivet holes out to 7/64 and used a pair
of MK319BS rivets to hold the nutplate on. Good 'nuff.

|
After some judicious cutting and bending of the hinge pins, I test fit the retainer.
Looks pretty sweet.
|
|
I duplicated the installation on the left wing and got Kerin to help hold the flaps
up while I installed the hinge pins.
Stick a fork in 'em cause these wings are DONE!
