1.  In order to drill the mounting holes for the flap detent plate, a long drill bit is used, and run through the rear spar box on the left side of the fuselage.  During wing rigging, there are shims and guide blocks that will be installed in that area, so we are putting this in now.

2.  The edge of the flap detent plate needs to be chamfered to fit around the weld on the lower fuselage tube
