I will be putting in my order for the fuselage kit this week. I noticed there is
only the 1 option for pre-set flaps. Am I wrong for assuming most will opt for
the option?
Also, I scanned the Section 40 PDF on tim's site, but I didn't see any mention
of the option. Just curious exactly what the difference is with this option.
Just seems like a strange thing to be optional.

The flaps can either be just infinitely-adjustable electric, or you can get
the flap positioning system that has 4 presets (reflexed 3, 0, 15, 30). It
is, of course, also infinitely adjustable, but has the presets for easy
handling and not needing to count while extending. I am sure some are going
without the positioning system, but I think it is a no-brainer (no offense
meant to those going without) option if you can afford it.

Hi Jae,
Without the option the flap switch must be held until it reaches the
desired position while observing the flap indicator or looking out the
window at the flap. With the option there are three preset positions.
When the switch is activated, it extends the flaps to the next setting
and stops. However, only one touch is needed to raise the flaps. You can
read more about it on Van's site at:

There is also the FPS Plus from Aircraft Extras. The advantage of this
one is that it also changes your trim setting to match the flaps. They
also sell a trim speed changer to reduce the trim speed, and make it
less sensitive, at higher airspeeds.

It's like the detents on a Cessna 150 or 172.

I see. This was the answer I was looking for. It's just this extra kit. Thanks.
Does anyone else think the flap switch on the columbia's are nice?

I may add that to the list of things to do once flying.
