Since last post I have filled in the last couple of panels into the flap skeleton. You can see where I had to thin the outer panel to clear the bell-crank (which it does by a millimeter or 2) The recess for the hinge spar is also cut.
Here I am preparing the hinge and spar with captive nuts. The nuts are bonded onto the spar and a small pin driven into the spar ensures they do not rotate.
In this one I have cut reliefs for the captive nuts. I protected the back of the nuts with a little sealer to stop the flox from getting inside. I will be cutting away most of the triangular portion of the ribs to lighten them up. they were there to ensure the flap was mounted accurately.
