All -
I'm no Brad (RV7 Factory) - but I did make a little progress today.
PS congrats to Brad on his new family addition & completing his wings!! Hope everything is going well at home... and you're getting some sleep at night
As of today - both my Flaps are done - and now it's on to finishing the wings and then the Fuse kit.
The only drawback is - I need to buy my new wife a new car.
It's the old dilema of wants vs. needs.
... but hey - if the wife aint happy - then nobody's happy.
I think I'll be spending some extra time working on the inside of the wings...
BTW - Instead of using weights to keep the flap assrmbly straight - I used a new technique of clecoing the flaps to the table when riveting the skins to the ribs. It was very easy and I had absolutely NO twist to the flaps when done. See pics below....

Actually, about 2 weeks ago she started sleeping through the night... what a difference!
