Lost pins; Flap Lever

Frustratingly, we spent (too much) time trying to track down a set of clevis pins that we needed for assembly of the elevators.  Our inventory says we have them, and they were even checked off when we validated the inventory, but they are nowhere to be found.  It's a mystery, and the only solution is to order new clevis pins.

So while we are waiting on parts, we shifted gears and are working on the flap lever.   We drilled and deburred a hole in a precise location of the inner tube for the flap lever button.  This gives the flap actuator button sufficient travel, and also pre-loads the spring in the flap lever slightly so that it functions correctly.   Hours: 1.5
