Spoilers - attaching front plate to hinge plate


Put in a few rivets and check that when closed adequate space exists to allow the spoiler to be flush with the wing surface.

Make sure that the mechanism can open to the position shown with the front plate and hinge plate "in line".

Note the 3mm thick plywood scraps to prevent the front plate opening all the way. These will be removed after final fitment and allow the spoilers an extra small amount of movement to pull down hard into their seats.
