Back from vacation. Got some time to install the flap and aileron on the left wing. The aileron installation is straightforward, but the flap took me some time to position it right, and mainten enough edge margin on the flap hinge on the wing side.
The photo should be rotated 90 degree. I used the sheet aluminum bundle piece as a straight edge to align aileron to its neutral position
The center of the tooling hole is marked to help position the straign edge
