Flaps - continued...

The left hand flap is finally working and running through the full range of 44 degrees.

Two points are worth noting. This picture shows the attachment of the drive bearing to the flap. 4 of the rivets attaching the angle to the lower surface are CS4-4. The sticky up heads leave no room for a normal nut so I had to use a metal lock nut. This just fits. I did not think of this solution until I had drilled the CS4-4 out once and tried to set a normal rivet in there. This proved impossible.



I have included this picture so you can see the hole in the floor.

I think the RH flap will be easier and quicker now I have done it before.
