3500 Flap Skins - Misplaced Bend
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:57 pm
Finished up my flap skeleton - Spar/ribs and was about to figure out how to
skin it when Scott noticed that it was bent at the wrong spot on the lower
leading edge 90 degree bend. The bend was 3/4" off and didn't match the
leading edge ribs, all of the predrilled holes would have hit slots not
tabs. Easy to spot without the structure in place because there were
several rivet holes right on the bend (tough to get those rivets to lay
smooth). Folks with serial #'s near mine might want to check their flap
skins before actually needing it.
Brian at MAM was nice as can be - as always and has a new pair on the way.
