With the bottom skin riveted on, we turned the whole assembly over so we could work inside and on top.
The video has you drill out the flaperon arms before the ribs are riveted to the spar but I decided to follow the photo guides and leave it until now. This was a mistake. Anyway, first off we to cleco the flaperon arms into place on the ribs.
and with the arms in place on the ribs we opened the holes through the rib for an A5 rivet. The problem is that the skin makes it impossible to get the drill in the bottom row of holes.
My Dad came up with the idea of getting a very flat hand drill that would allow us to open the holes by hand, we found one on Amazon and ordered it. At the same time I asked on the Zenith website and one suggestion was to use some 12″ long drill bit so I ordered some of them too.
In the meantime we had to make the l-angle supports for the flaperon arm, cut some l-angle into the right width and marked a line on the arm where it sits and then drilled through both items to get our holes.
Putting the flaperon arm back inside the skin allowed us to drill the holes required in the bottom of the l-angle from underneath the wing.
With nothing more we can do until the drill/drill bit comes we located the top skins and clecoed them onto the ribs. We also put the l-angle stiffeners under the skin (this was tough with the skin in place!). With all the holes lined up, we drilled them out to A4 size.
