This is the torque tube and arms for the speed brake/belly flap. The pushrods are too long right now. they will be cut to the right size upon installation.
   
 
The flap motor is a canabilized 18v cordless drill. A threaded rod will be mounted to it and it will turn the rod pulling and pushing on the center arm on the torque tube. A dual pole dual throw switch will be mounted in the instrument panel to operate the motor. I have decided not to use this motor. I will use a hand lever instead.
   
 
Here are the pushrod ends for the elevator and ailerons. The steel ends will be welded to the aileron tube and the aluminum one will be bolted to the elevator pushrod tube.
