My
wing was already in the rotating jig so I was forced to build some simple
supports for the trailing edge board.

Closing
the right flap on the trailing edge board.

Working
on the left flap now...actuator assembly with saftey-wired bolts.

Closing
the left flap on the trailing edge board. Notice the small heater
to keep the garage up around 75 deg....I should have gotten the combined
air conditioner heater when I put in the A/C unit! Even in Texas
it's hard to keep an uninsulated garage at a good working temperature.

Dec
03 - Finally got the left flap closed. Also hooked up left flap to
the torque tube and got both of them running up and down on their own!
See the video of the flaps moving on their own...beware the file is BIG
(5.2Mb) so don't try and view it if you only have a phone modem!
