Welp the leading edge flap is all good and back on the wing. The Trailing edge flaps will need some work as well but mainly sanding certain areas to finish the fitting. One will not close all the way because it hits the stop of the flap gap cover arm, but I will show that in more detail later.

Saddle tanks are next then the main, the main tank has a predrilled hole in the wrong spot and I will have to plug it and drill two more holes in the correct location. Im using the typical BVM Hi flow stuff, the brass insert is threaded and comes with a brass nut to screw on but I never use this since the tanks are not two part and you cannot install it. I always hysol the brass fittings, just remember to scuff the tank around the hole so the hysol will stick good.

small things I know but only doing small things till later down the road.
