Preparing the flap hinges

Hours: 3 Manual Ref: Page 14-2 steps 5 through 10; Page 14-3 steps 1, 2 and 3 Partner: N/A

The flap hinges and torque tube support brackets are the majority of the work that has to be done to the wing ribs. It didn’t take long to have everything match drilled. The most difficulty I had was with the torque tube support brackets. For some reason, the W-1029A-L and W-1029B-L brackets don’t want to sit too well in the W-1010R rib. Eventually, I got it all straightened out, though.
