A very crappy shot looking inside the left flap.
The left flap ready for rivets.
I used a four inch squeezer yoke to get these three rivets on the bottom of the flap,
The rest of the bottom I shot and bucked using a modified Avery# 615 bucking bar.
The top is now shot and bucked as well except for the spar.
You can see the reflection of the spar in the curved top skin. The hinge is also clecoed in place.
The outboard end which you can squeeze. The plans say to use blind rivets on the spar to ribs on all the joints. I used solid rivets on the end because it was easier and stronger.
The hinge is now riveted in place. Be careful that you do not damage the eyelets with the squeezer.
A shot inside the left wing . Visible are the electrical conduit, the pitot line and the wires for the pitot heat.
