Finally a nice day to take the plane out of the shop so the wings could be fitted and flaperon torque tubes installed. N and S helped me a lot today. It took a little work to get the right wing fully in. Finally used a tiny bit of tap on the spar pin and it went into place. The skins of the wings were marked at 3/16 inch as per plans and I will trim at a later date.
The flaperons were installed. I had to open up the space between the plastic blocks on the flaperon torque tube in order to get the actuation bracket to fully seat. Once seat the torque tubes were matched drilled to the flaperon torque arms. The wings, the flaperon torque tube, and the flaperon arms were then removed. The holes were enlargened and then the arms and tubes were then reinstalled.
It was a great day to get this part accomplished.
Time: 5.75 hrs
