Fuselage October 2005 Updates October 19, 2005 Flap Channel Parts Fab. - 3 hrs Taking a break from riveting until Gary gets here so I can see what we were doing wrong last time. I am going to try anchoring the section better with some clamps and angle. So I started fabricating the parts needed for the flap motor channel. There are 3 pieces. Nothing really difficult just some measuring cutting and drilling. Then I used the diegrinder with a scotchbrite pad to dress them up. I will check but I don't think I want to put any of this channel completly together until I get the center section together with the aft section. Then I can mount to the rotating stand and add these flap motor pieces. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft.
