>I intend to replace the magnetic limit switch
with a postiive-action micro-switch - arranged in such a way as to
eliminate
the potential for "coasting past".<

I eliminated the two flap relays and magnetic limit switches. Instead I
used two diodes  and two microswitches to accomplish the same thing.  The
system uses motor braking so that the flaps do not coast.  The result is a
lighter and more reliable flap control system for the Lancair.  The diodes
must be heavy duty since they provide a direct short across the
motor/generator when the flaps are at the limit.

I will write a short article for the Lancair Network News this week.
