Last night I riveted away and finished up the left flap. Tricky in spots, but overall turned out pretty good. I kept checking to make sure it was straight but you really don't have the ability to rivet it like the aileron on a flat table. By the time you can get it to a flat table, most of the rivets holding it together are set. Anyway, at the end of the day I was able to put it on a flat table and I couldn't identify any twist. That is all I can hope for..
Now it is onto the right flap, then finishing up the bottom skins and the wings will be structurally complete !
At this point, however, I have decided to abandon the project all together. Realizing the impact it has on my life and the expectation of 2-3 more years of this really is starting to get to me. It will be sad to give it up, but probably better for my state of mental health.. I will be donating my wings to the societad du avion aou francis early next week.
