Step 2
Sand the flap stay using medium grit sandpaper. Use
rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove any dirt and
debris from the flap stay. This will help in strengthening
the bond between the flap stay and wing rib.
Step 3
Use 30-minute epoxy to glue the flap stay in the wing.
Step 4
Cut two 1/4-inch (4mm) long pieces from the heat shrink
tubing and slide it onto each of the clevises. Thread the
clevises onto the flap linkage.
