More flaps, flying and some tool problems

The lack of updates is mainly because my work sessions the last few days have ended in frustration.

My favourite tool, the pneumatic squeezer has not worked properly. Over the last weeks it has worked less than perfect, for every session it has been more and more reluctant to release the pressure. I did at first not connect it with the sound of leaking air, I tough that is was some sort of problem with lack of oil/grease... but after disassembly it was clear that that was not the problem, then I checked the valve at the bottom of the tool and remains of an o-ring fell out.

Now with a new o-ring, everything is back to normal again. The problem was that even when the valve was in its closed position, air pressure bypassed the valve and kept the tool in the engaged position.

A funnier reason for the lack of updates is that I have been flying, took my wife up for her first aerobatic session.

Most of the dimpling has been done:

another good use for the pop-rivet dimpling tool
