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 position sensor on the flap drive motor to give the
mid position signal to stop the motor?

My panel may need a blanking plate and new (ideally flap profile) 3 position 
switch
(see the rather old photo attached).

I have 500+ hours and have so far managed to cope with the buttons, however, an
analysis of 'flight blunders' include many that relate to the flap operation
as-is. If the improvement could be made without huge drama l will make a mod.
But l have seen other Europas with 3 position switches.

Regards
JW
