Started riveting the right flap. Van's instruction is pretty straight forward. I didn't use a V wedge for riveting, I just put the clecoed assembly, excluding the spar, on a flat table surface. It seemed just working fine. The riveting is almost done, only spar needs to be riveted. I will get it done tomorrow.
I decided to add a shim between the rear rib flange and rear spar. It just feels better
Shop heads of flange to rear spar rivet
Shop heads of the bottom skin to top skin rivets. Looking good.
FL-706B is riveted to inboard flange
Nutplate for flap rod is riveted to the inboard rib
