I found a little time to hang the flaps and ailerons tonight. Also, I had to make some special bents on left flap hing pins to secure the pins. Everything looks good. I might need to trim the left flap skin a little to clear the fuselage skin. Also, I hope I don't need to trim the flap bottom skin to fully retrieve the flap. Sone other builders found that they need remove the part of bottom flap skin that overlap with fuselage.



Flap and aileron are hung for right wing. They look pretty dusty

Left wing flap hing pin needs special bent


Left flap needs some trim to clear the fuselage side skin. It looks pretty tight


Clearance between flap and fuselage looks better on the right side
