Cut out the top bracket out of .063 and made the tab bend in the vise. I did this by putting the skinny part in the vise and put a 2x4 block right at the top of the vise jaw and hit it several times with a mallet. This put all of the force right at the bending point and made the bend crisp. This metal was too thick to just pull on it. It would not of made a clean bend line.I mounted the flap motor into the front channel and connected it to the flap acuator. Next I hooked up the battery and cycled the motor thru its full range back and forth many times. This motor is sure strong because I could barely move the weldment by hand in these new bearing blocks. I would not of thought the motor would be able to move it.This makes sense though when you think about the presure that the airflow against the flaps will create when you are in flight.
