I bought the flap preposition device when I bought my fuselage kit.

As I was preparing to wire it up today, I thought of a question.



When EFIS displays show flap position, are they working off of this device or a different device, and if the latter, does that make this device redundant or are both necessary to get both pre-select function and EFIS display?



Thanks in advance.

If you got the standard positioner like I have from Van's, made by 

Showplanes, it doesn't come with a position sensor...it's just a

positioner.  I haven't really missed not having a position sensor, but

you can pretty easily use a sensor for things like Mac servos and

make it display on your EFIS if that's an option.  The standard

positioner has worked great for me now for 480 hours, so I'm

real satisfied with it.  Adding a sensor and display would be

a pretty cheap and easy task.

Thanks guys.  I was hoping that the positioner would also function as a position sensor, but I guess that would be too convenient.
