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 comment). The middle position is set up by manually
setting it then inputting the button sequence as stated. After set up just push
one of the 3 buttons to select the flap required.

I don't agree with Bob that most flights need just UP or DOWN flap. I nearly
always
use MID flap for T/O. We operate from much smaller grass strips where a
tangible improvement in field performance is useful. Having flown a bit in the
US (about 350 hrs but non in a Europa) most airfields have long, hard runways.
The only slight downside is the size of the unit - it is 4in wide (tall in my
case)
and may need trimming back.
An Issue?
Having flown 500+ hrs in the Europa there hasn't been a single flight when l
haven't
(mildly) cursed the amount of time holding down that darn flap button!
