Fuselage November 2005 Updates November 4, 2005 Flap Motor Channel Parts - 2 hrs I was about to finish up the flap motor channel pieces and realized I can't final drill the side covers yet. Until the sides are on this thing the geometry can change. So I just put the flap motor in the chanel and cleaned up the pieces for priming and put them aside for now. I gotta get the aft section completed so I cut some 2 x 2 angle that I picked up from Lowes to use as stiffeners for the sides. Hopefully this will keep things stiff enough and maybe my riveting problems will go away. Clamped these into place and ready to finish the riveting.
