Sometimes the flaps on my 601Xl deploy when they are
not supposed to. They always go to the full flap
position. This can occur when I hit the starter
switch, and also when I turn on the avionics once the
engine is running. I have the 4 inch unit bought from
the surplus center.

Anyone have any ideas for the fix?

Are you using the matching three-button electronic controller also sold by
Surplus Center? It is probably picking up electrical noise. Use mechanical
switches instead wired like those for the Zenith factory actuator (page
6-B-20 in the plans). With the switch in the center (off) position there
will be no power applied to the motor so it can not move.

Hi Ken ,why don't you put in an extra toggle switch to kill the ground on
the flaps .This is a cure for run-a-way controls.
