Several weeks ago (maybe months ago) Doug sent me some pictures of his
unique flap and gear actuation systems.

Does anyone recognize the source of flap screw jack drive or the gear drive?

Yup........looks like it's a 'hand drill' mechanism...can be bought at any
hardware store.

That was my first thought. The crank and handle looks like a hand drill;
however, a hand drill does not run a screw-jack.

It can, with a little surgery. Overall, looks like a nice setup.

Agreed, and if he ever wants to upgrade to electric actuation a cordless drill
and micro switches can easily replace the hand drill.
