Hi all,



Further to recent discussion two European instrument producers for a change.



An Italian company:

Any experiences anybody?

Hi There All



As an happy guy I fly part time on a Dyn'aero MCR 4Seats where the flaps are

directed by a 4 position switch (0-10°-17°-35°) and part time on our gentle

Europa XS where the switch is full analog (wherever you want between 0 to

35°). I won't enter in a contest between both option but I'm curious to see

(pics and explanation) if any of the members of the community installed a

servo allowing to have pre-set flaps position (0-10°-full).

Have Good Flights,

Max,



I can see the distinct advantage of what you describe.  Electric version of the manual flap with stops at 10º, 20º, 30º, etc.  I used to fly an old C-150 with manual flaps like that and it was really handy.  Pull click 1 on downwind, click 2 on base, click 3 on final.  Nothing to watch or distract from flying the aircraft.  That could be a mod that would be worth the effort to install.

I too am interested in a flap switch which works just like we have on most car windows, on the driver's side: push once and the window opens fully or closes from any  position, i.e. full flap or full retract flaps. Especially in an emergency or when workload is high it is irritating having my right hand tied up holding the current toggle switch for quite a long time, when it should really be on the throttle.

Max.......Further to what Bob has said  I recall my last solo circuit before

my Skill test at Ormond Beach Aviation when I was allocated a Cesna Aerobat

and hadn't noticed the flaps were by a switch needing it centred to "off" by

hand, when on late final over the student accommodation I became aware I was

basically only descending and likely into the accommodation roof. By chance

I happened to see the 40deg flap by my left ear in my peripheral view.

Prompting me to slam the switch up then causing a flapless landing since I

still hadn't grasped there was no detent positions. !  I since prefer to use

my own selection by observation of the Europa supplied stick on indicators

on the flap visible over my left shoulder. Never have liked bloody Cesna's

ever since !

Regards to all.....
