There are two of us that are around 300 hrs and now the flaps have been not wanting to come all the way up. If you give them a little  help by pushing up on them or by taking off where there is air pressure on them, they come up. My buddy has looked in his tunnel and does not see anything wrong. Wondering if anybody else has had this problem. I'll  be taking  mine apart in another week or so to find out what is going on, wondering, if this is a know problem with the flap motor or the gears.

They come up to around the half way or first flap setting with no problem and then stop, and going down there is no problem just coming up.

We have 920 hrs w no problems.  We started w the flap positioning system & now use a position sensor w the VP-200.  I'm fairly certain Van's has never heard of it as a problem before.

No problems in 4 yrs with standard Van's motor and simple up/down switch with LED indicator.

We didn't have any of that until we installed the FPS. Sometimes I have to hold the switch down for a second or so, as if the motor needs to run for a bit to get the microswitch out of its notch...just guessing.



  One time we had to cycle the switch several times to get the flaps to come up.  That was early on and it hasn't repeated that problem.

First thing that I would do is check that everything is lubricated and that nothing has seized. Mine are quite tight at the inboard end and I have used 3M anti-chafe tape to protect the metal and make the flaps move the last inch easily. That motor works pretty hard so check it out carefully.
