Tie wired the flap motor rod to the lower eye bolt

Here's where I deviated from the plans (again). I tried to tie wire the flap motor rod to the bolt as stated in the instructions. But, when I played with moving the rod up and down by running the motor, the wire bent back and forth. I knew that after only a few sessions of applying the flaps, the wire would eventually break. So, in a previous building session, I drilled a small hole into the eye bolt (or whatever the hell this part is called). Then I tie wired the flap motor rod to the eye bolt. This solved the wire movement issue.
