Ailerons and Flaps

I decided to start with the Ailerons and Flaps first before going onto the more complicated wings. Since this is the first time I will be working on my own, no instructor to lead, I thought if I screw up the ailerons or flaps it is not a big mistake and can be fixed easily by placing an order onto vans.

 

Here is the Flap support braces.

The Flaps all clecko'ed together.

The Flaps almost done .

 

 

First Aileron task was to cut the stiffeners and to cleko and back drill them to the Aileron skins.
