Flap work: 3.5 hours

This session: more work on flap actuator channel and mounting plate, riveted flap actuator mounting plate and bottom channel attachments, prepped and riveted upper channel attachment plate, started working on fitting the flap actuator, and organized the parts for the forward tunnel cover.

I also unpacked and inventoried my new Garmin GTN-650 from Stein Air. This is a Garmin's touchscreen WAAS GPS, Nav / Com combo unit. It will be the core system for all ifr navigation and communication however I will also have two other backup vfr GPS sources and the ability to connect a handheld back up com radio!
