List--- I would like to thank, Scott L., Craig P. (and Doug Eatman) for their inputs concerning an affordable replacemant flap actuator. Today I ordered from Surplus Center p/n 5-1577-4 linear actuator for $72.95 (4 inch travel), p/n 5-1577-c controller for $49.95= $122.90 + shipping $11.81 total cost $134.71.
At max load the travel time of the 2 and 4 inch actuators are 1/2 inch/sec. The 4 inch actuator will take 8 seconds for full travel whereas the the 2inch (travel) actuator would only take 4 seconds. Even if the the 2 inch actuator is workable, I feel the 4 inch travel (time wise ) is more comfortable to fly with, especially when going from a setting of zero to 10 degrees etc. (my opinion only)
I will adapt my "already welded as per plans" flap contol arm to accept the actuator with 4 inches of travel.
Thanks again for your help.

I think Doug Eatman found Surplus Center and the linear actuators first. I just saved the link.
