Duncan Sorry to report to you that the flaps actuator with the square shaft does not travel more than the Mono flap drive does. I just converted and I think I have a bit less travel in the down direc
Rowland I discovered a neat little trick. It was after several times cleaning out filler from hinges that I came up with it. I had a problem getting the filler out of the hinge wire holes. An hobby k
