Started working on the flaps
Today I started the day off creating cradles for the flaps. Similiar to the ones used to assemble the leading edge and fuel tanks. Then I started working the various prep work for the nose ribs. Mostly final drilling holes and deburring. Then I had to cut one of the flanges off each of the flap ribs.

I cut them out of extra material from the crates that the wings came in. Van's has you waste nothing! LOL
I used a hole saw cut out the sharp curve at the root
I used a Dremel to smooth out the contours after this picture was taken
