Completed left flap - 3 hours

Now that I have some rhythm to bucking the flap rivets, I managed to crank out the bottom side of the left wing in no time. Everything went extremely well, again only had to drill out the odd rivet and re-try. 


But, just as I was nearing the finish line setting the last couple of rivets, wouldn't you know I let the gun slip and I've put a dent in the bottom of the flap skin. Ahh, stings. It's not structural, just cosmetic....but still not what I wanted. A little super-fill from aircraft spruce and primer and all will be just fine in the end.

I finished off the flap by using the squeezer on the end rib rivets and I was done.
