I would really like to change my hold up or down flap buttons for a 3 position switch. Retraction or full deployment takes around 12 secs which is way too long to have your hands off the throttle. Do
Bob, Thanks for the input. I have 2 x 3/4in buttons that operate the flaps, up and down. A 3 position switch will not give me the 3 position control l need (like a C182). As l see it l would need a p
I'm in danger of answering my own questions! As Bob pointed out Aircraft Spruce stock a range of switches. I found this one https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/electronicsflapcontroller.ph
Reply to Brian No, the device can be set up without position switches. There is an option to include a position switch as seen in the installation manual (which l'd already sent to Andy Draper for co

Ivor, Thanks - the link in your post is very useful. The sequencer/position device is essentially the same functionality of the one l have found. It is cheaper but does require me to break into the l

Like Rowland l am concerned with the structural integrity of the airframe (motor mount stressing). Adding 40lbs of ballast adds at least 152lbf to the vertical inertia loads (at LIMIT condition, n=3.

I have been doing some engineering analysis (stressing) of the Europa structure. The relative lack of crashworthiness caused by the design of the cockpit A pillars has been noted. As long ago as 1999

Pete, It is the wing area and planform change which creates higher loads. Bigger wing = more lift. The bending moment at the root is calculated using the lift vector x the offset from the root (or ce

Average usage up between changes (50hrs) is around 100 to 200ml. Generally l do not top up between changes. The engine is approx 600hrs. I have had it for 10 years. I have oil and water stats fitted.
