Guys

  

 I had imagined that many of you have already fitted such a system to  your Tri-gear Europas but as I've had a couple of apprciative comments, implying  that its not as common as I'd imagined, I thought I'd offer it to any who wants  it.

  

 G-MFHI is fitted with a button that when pressed, retracts the electric  flaps to the zero stop - This is useful for cleaning up the airframe on the  ground roll out or when climbing out. This bits easy - the tricky bit is  preventing contention beteen the automatic system and the retained manual centre  off switch. The system we have fitted retracts the flaps when the button is  pressed but stops instantly if the down button of the manual flap switch is  pressed.

  

 If anyone wants the wiring detail and a technical explanation as to how it  works, just let me know.

  

 Regards

  

 Peter

Peter and Steve,

  

 Both your "auto" details may have peaked the interest of many other0 Europahiles. Making your wiring diagrams available to the list could help out0 many of your fellow flyers. I would be very interested in seeing them.0

Duane

  

 Attached is my design for an auto up flaps mechanism. At first sight, it0 may appear both complicated and indeed, overcomplicated but reading the0 description should clarify whats going on and why there are a few more relay0 contacts than you may think are necessary. I guess that this has been installed0 on the aeroplane for about 100hrs and to date, has proved faultless.

  

 Any questions, please feel free to ask.

  

 Regards

  

 Peter

Hi Steve,

  

 Thanks....yes, I would like a pix of your diagram. I'm into wiring my panel at the present time and I have been thinking about how to do the flap circuit.
