Electric Flap Control

Flap motor - shows the flap motor installation behind the rear seat bulkhead.

Flap position sensor - I have a system whereby I select the position of the flaps with a button. The corresponding light for that button will then light up when the flaps reach that position. At that point, the motor will stop, until the next position position is selected. The sensor/pot tells the flap electronics what the flap position is at any time. There is also a manual overide switch, in case the electronic flap sensor and automatic position selector runs away with itself. Also, because I have a lot more flap travel with the motor than one would normally have with the flap "handbrake", I have installed a safety/limit switch under the flap arm which will shut off the motor should I lose control of it.

Instrument Panel and Controls
