• For some reason I don't enjoy countersinking. However, I needed to countersink the tops of these seat back supports - cause they are right where people rest their hands entering the plane.

  

• After a fair amount of nutplane futzing, the flap mechanism is permanently installed (at least until interior painting).

  

• The forward elevator pushrod is in - to insert you slide in from the aft, between the seat back and backage bulkheads. Also, the center seat back support is drilled for nutplates at the top.

  

• Begining the flap motor channel install - so I can drill/rivet the upper flap bracket in place and attach to the seat back channel.

  

• This install took a bunch of clamps and drilling various holes (per plans).

  

• I used a 14V bench power supply to test the flap mechanism - cause it makes cool noises.

  

• Match drilling the flap control electronics to the back of the seat channel.

  

• The various bits of the flap channel are riveted in place - now ready to prime the whole assembly.
