Alexander=2C


I can't help=2C but as far as I know the statistics for the motor are very 
good. But I think now that I will always carry a spare with me=2C ordered f
rom Europa.

The other reason for this reply is : what is the best way to do a flapless 
landing ?

I tried it in the early days=2C but gave up because of the nose high attitu
de.

Dear all=2C

After intermittent failures the flap drive finally quit working. After sear
ching through the message board and also catching up with the Vans communit
y it seems to be a frequent problem with these motors. Our question to you 
is now: Is there an alternative part or newer version (read not from Motion
 or where the problem is remedied) for this drive=2C and possibly avoiding 
drilling new holes in the fuselage? Quick answers would be super nice.

Thank you.


Alexander
