Fixing the flap channel - 3 hours

 I was too eager to rivet yesterday and didn't look at the drawings carefully enough. I riveted the F-766C plate to the flap channel using AN470 rivets as opposed to the required AN426 rivets. Well I soon noticed the error when I started to install the flap system side covers...yup, they didn't sit flat. 

I need to drill out the 4 rivets, countersink/dimple the assembly, touch-up the primer and re-assemble. 

 

Now I was ready to re-install everything. Once done, it was ready for the first person to sit in the plane. It was my son Trip...who is the first official person in the plane. (And if your wondering...there's no cleco's where he is sitting...lol)
