Mill the slots into the flaps, outer
wing panels and center wing,
according to drawing and photos.
Make sure that you carry over the
measurements correctly.
It is very helpful to have a long
straight piece of aluminum or wood,
which can help to align the 4 flaps and
ailerons and outer flap to straight
trailing edges. Use a waterproof pen
and mark the position of flaps and
ailerons. You can use some masking
tape to protect the surface of the parts.
Some pens will not be 100%
removable from the silver paint of the
parts, after installation is completed.
The edges of the wing surfaces need
to be sanded from the inside, so that
the flaps can be installed deep enough
into the wing. Use a flat permagrit
plate or a rough sand paper glued to a
piece of thin plywood.
Assemble the flap hinges with the
3mm thick flap-side piece and the 2
2mm thick wing-side pieces with an
M4 bolt and stop nut.
