Hello group ,I started welding up the flap  components today .I may be overlooking the flap controls on the plans ,are  they only electrically controlled .If possible I would rather have manual  controls . Thanks  Wade Jones

Hi Wade:



Many of us who are past that point have looked into the possibility and pondered the possibilities for hours.  The conclusion I arrived at was there just isn't a good way to get the lever past the center spar.  Also, an electric actuator is so simple and works so well that there's no reason to do a lever IMHO.  I used this type of actuator since it has internal limit switches:

Here are all the parts I fabbed up to use up all the 4" of travel in the actuator:

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Thanks Scott ,  I will proceed on with welding  up all the flap components .I was trying to get by without paying the high price  for the actuator ,($500.00 +) . I believe I thanked all who replied about my  fuselage skin thickness ,if not thanks to Ed and all the rest .   Wade

Go here and search on "linear": www.surpluscenter.com

  

 Item# 5-1577-2 has 2 inches of travel while 5-1577-4 has 4.  The companion controller can memorize intermediate stops: 5-1577-C. Each of  these are well under $100. The disadvantage compared to the factory actuator is  that the stops are not adjustable. So you need to build some adjustment into  your linkage.
