Thanks Bob,
I am getting some more work done on the wing, actually looks like a P-47 wing now.
The flap hinges are cut and assembled.
They work really well much stronger and stiffer then Robart hinge points.
I need to tune the gaps up, at least 3/16" to 1/4" is needed so the flap and aileron don't bind.
The pocket will finish out nicely as it will be seen when in static display and the flaps are at rest.
I still need to install the flap hinges on the left side.
I started to rough sand the wing to shape the wing tips and the LE.
I got to excited and over sanded the TE of the wing tips where they meet the aileron tip, so I will just cut that out and glue in a piece of balsa, no biggie.
I normally sand the tip with the aileron installed, got excited.
I am ready to glass the center and mount the wing to the fuselage so I can build the belly.
Then final filling and sanding.
