Each flap is almost 2.5m long, so you see only a part of the spar here. |
 |
 |
A detail of the assembly process. One flap has the leading edge skin on
already... |
|
Here you see them in full length. |
 |
 |
This is the easiest method to remove the protecting plastic from flat
skins: just roll it around a pipe. WHen this happens you know that the
next step is priming - for which I have no images. |
|
Here we have proceeded to the riveting stage. The skeleton is being
riveted together. |
 |
 |
The right flap is being skinned...
continued next month... ... well, unfortunately not. I
didn't manage to make any pictures. But I promise, when they are complete... |
|
... you will see them. And here you see Desiree helping with the
riveting of the last trailing edge. She puts in rivets that I try to
squeeze. |
 |
 |
I couldn't resist to publish this picture! |
|
And here is the promised result. Both flaps finished with straight
trailing edges (and I am small, but not that small !) |
