The end result is a cleaner hole. Note the balsa plug...

I used a pencil this time because I wanted a nice crisp thin line to gauge my hinge guide tool off of.

Hinging the flaps starts with marking careful measurements onto the bottom of the wing and flap.

Wanting a cleaner hole, I opted against using a drill bit. Instead I used a length of 3/16" brass tubing sharpened at one end chucked in my hand drill. Note the black marks on the tubing which tell me how deep the hole should be.

Slot cut into the wing's trailing edge to allow the horn to pass through. It will need to be widened up later.

Once cured, I will be able to sheet the remaining bit of the flap and continue shaping the bottom half of the LE.

Using a blue ink pen I traced the profile onto each end, then the template was removed.

I traced and cut out a template off of the plans of the flap's leading edge profile.

It's time to mix-up some epoxy to permanently install the horn.

You can better understand now why I chose not to install the flap horn. It would have made the job so much more difficult.

I cut the leading edge into two pieces to simplify making the notch. I will not be epoxying the horn until after the leading edge is shaped rather than having to work around the horn...

The horn is being slid into the pocket that will ultimately hold it in place.

Flap horn has been glass beaded and note the hole I drilled. When epoxied into position, this hole will in essence become an epoxy rivet locking the horn in its pocket.
