There is not a lot wrong with the standard Trigear flap actuator.  Bolts
straight on the existing linkage.

Just thoughts and I'm sure you've had them too. Anyway, my
undercarriage/flap operating lever is in the order of a foot long, giving
quite an advantage.

Are you going to connect the linear actuator straight on to the end of the
flap push-rod, or are you going to incorporate some sort of bell-crank
linkage to increase the leverage? Presumably there would be a limit to the
length of bell-crank arm before the linear actuator would run out of travel
range.

The actuator can be "inched", no doubt. Just curious and I would love to see
a diagram of your proposed flap actuating system, if ever you can find the
time.
