Hello = All,

 

I am probably a little off-topic = here, but you guys provide such great information that I thought I’d run = this one past you.

 

I’m looking for a flap = controller for an RV-7 that mimics the good-old C-172 flap controller.  =

 

I like the C-172 system because = it:

 

  1. does not require the pilot to hold the switch until the flaps are in the desired position
  2. give a visual indication of both the selected position and the actual = flap position
  3. allows the pilot to select any flap position, no matter what the current = flap position is

  1. is full of speedometer cables and limit = switches

 

 

 

Does anyone know of any = after-market devices that accomplish these goals?  After Googleing for a while I = found a few, but none that meet these criteria.  Perhaps I overlooked something…

 

As always, any suggestions are much appreciated,
