The aft flap cover needs a bracket fabricated to attach it to the floor.
The top of the front flap cover needs this little bracket fabricated to tie the cover to the F-705 upper channel. I’m really glad I have a bending brake; it made bending this just trivial.
The lower end of the front cover needs this attach points riveted.
The front cover also needs a series of nutplates installed down both sides. These will be used to attach the flap side covers.
I primed and riveted the upper motor mount reinforcing plate to the forward flap cover channel.
I also riveted the lower attach bracket to the aft cover channel.
Here is the plate that I bent on the bending brake earlier. It’s riveted to forward flap cover and gets a couple of one-leg nutplates for attaching it to the upper F-705 channel.
I installed the forward flap channel into the plane and temporarily bolted the flap motor push rod to the weldment. I couldn’t help running the motor up and down a bit to watch it work.
After ensuring the inner bolt support was properly aligned, I match drilled it to the channel. It’s almost 2 a.m., so this is a good stopping point.
