Well, yesterday I said that I had estimated it would take 3 hr to complete the Left Flap. I must be getting better at this (or at least lucky) since it took 2:50 to finish the job. Lada helped during the pro seal application and fitting the trailing edge. It's much easier with 4 hands instead of just 2. I propped the skin up with some rags under the skin and against some ribs. I only used about 1/2 of the jar of proseal and made essentially no mess. Then both of us flexed the trailing edge around the back and it was done. I spent the rest of the afternoon pulling the rivets, putting the ailerons & flaps into moving blankets and then cleaning the garage. All in all, a very satisfying afternoon.
