I made a lot of progress on the left flap today. I spent some time working out how to retain the flap hinge pins. I now have the flap side of the hinge and retainer all ready. I also fabricated the reinforcement bracket that ties into the flap actuator. Finally all parts have been deburred. Just a few more steps before priming.
Vans' claims that the flaps are the easiest control surface to build but they seem very involved so far.
I'm sure the right flap will go much faster.
