Installed the leading edge skins on the left flaperon tonight.
First you rivet on the outboard nose skin.
Then the inboard nose skin.
And finally the center nose skin.
One flap complete. Amazing out stiff this thing is after the nose skins are riveted on. As long and narrow as it is, it does not twist! I showed my wife how small the bracket is that actuates this long flight control and even she was surprised.
I am not installing the hinge bearings at this point to make it easier to store these things without causing damage.
