Today I skinned the flaps and ailerons. The skins went on very easily but I did have problems with the tension ribs. The screw holes for the ribs did not line up with the holes in the flaps and aileron frames. I ended up reaming out the holes in the flaps and aileron frames to allow the screw holes to align.

Today I skinned the flaps and ailerons. The skins went on very easily but I did have problems with the tension ribs. The screw holes for the ribs did not line up with the holes in the flaps and aileron frames. I ended up reaming out the holes in the flaps and aileron frames to allow the screw holes to align.
