Anyone know what happens if the ES flap motor tries to keep running when it
hits the mechanical stop (at full retract)?  So far as I know, there is no
internal limiter on the motor, nor a clutch.  It seems to me that wiring a
separate switch for retract, by-passing the magnetic limit switches, may set
up a potential disaster if that switch is left on too long, or bumped on
inadvertently when the flaps are fully retracted.  What would break first?
