Drilled flap hinge: 4 hours

My brother Paul and I were able to the right flap assembly clamped in place, lined up and finally drilled the wing side of the flap hinge to the wing skin and flap brace.

This is one of the few operations in the building process where the builder is totally responsible for properly aligning the components. For this reason there is a lot if measuring, triple checking, etc.

Paul's help made he process go much quicker and more smoothly than the left flap (which I drilled solo).

I was also watching a friend's dog while they were out of town so we had some extra company in the shop.
