Flap and elevator work

Got the inner ribs in the flaps reinforced and the cutouts in the wings for the counterweights tided up. They will need micro filling in the voids where the honeycomb is - but this will be done much later after the counterweights are confirmed as having clearance.

I also went back to the tailplane and reinforced the leading edge of the tailplane that was not done on my training day.

After that I started work on the elevator support ribs, which are Superglued in place. Then a CF washer is added behind the rib and the elevator itself has to have a cutout that corresponds to this rib.
