Started Riveting Flaps

I started tonight by riveting part of the flap brace to the spars (except for the holes that also attach the inboard ribs).



I riveted the remaining part of the flap brace to the inboard ribs.  The nutplates have to be riveted on with flush rivets (AN426 on the top and NAS1097 on the bottom) to clear the rod end on the flap pushrod.



I also fabricated the spacers that are used to take up the extra space between the ears of the  brackets (yes I know that the order of one of these is backward, but these have to come apart to bolt these brackets to the ailerons).
