At 191 hours the flaperons are completed. It took longer then I thought it should but then again, I never did anything like this before. The error I made with the pivot attach brackets was corrected by ordering a new piece of AEX and building new brackets. The comparison photos showing the offset original bracket position to the now corrected bracket makes it worth it. It took about 11 hours total to repair.

The only other problem occurred when riveting the A1207 actuation brackets. The rivet squeezer was too large to allow the manufactured head to sit in the die pocket and the shop head to be formed correctly. The holes were too close to the angle of the bracket. I fabricated a shop head die holder from a piece of 1/2 thick steel and clamped it in a vise. This allowed me to form the shop head with a punch making it flat and square.

The fuselage is next.
