Right Flap completed §36-25, 26

I got off to a late start today because I worked a night shift last night and then had a 4 hour morning course to renew that pesky ATLS certificate.   I slept until 5:00pm before heading out to the shop.

I left off yesterday with the right flap fully skinned but not yet riveted, so all I had to do this afternoon was  pull rivets and finish the FL-15500-002 Right Flap.

FL-15500-002

Close up of the vortex generators on the upper surface

Once that was done, I got to work on the left side.  The lower/training skin was peeled & deburred.   I hadn't deburred the vortex generators on the leading/lower skin so that got done, too.   I've fully clecoed the leading edges of the skins, but will stop here.  Tomorrow, I will rivet the leading edge & generators together.  That will provide excellent alignment for the one-and-done fitting of the trailing edge once the B2 sealer is placed on the rear lip.   It should take about 3 hours (so I'll budget 6) to finish before I go back to work tomorrow night.
