#05 Flap Handle Detent Pin

Welcome back viewers! In this episode I am working on putting together & installing the flap handle in the fuselage. I run across a few setbacks during the assembly but in the end I overcome all of them & get the job done albeit with a few less drill bits. I broke a bit off inside the detent pin, tried some super-cooling overnight in the deep freeze to pop it out in the morning but that didn’t work. I try to drill out the existing bit with another, that didn’t work. Then I drilled perpendicular to it & through the lodged bit… that didn’t work either. I ended up having to use the cheapest replacement bit I purchased that morning to drill yet another hole through the detent pin which was successful. Got’r done in the end. I hope you like what you see & will like & subscribe if you haven’t already. Or if you are just here to watch me make some progress I hope you enjoy the video. I look forward to seeing you on the next one.
