I was wondering if anyone makes a gizmo that would go into the flap circuit that would allow a single momentary push position the flaps  into 10º then a second would move it to 20º and so on? Obviously the same going the other way.



I could live with a gizmo that just ran applied the power to the flap motor for X number of seconds either down or up for each push as long as X is something I could set.

http://www.aircraftextras.com/ sells their Flap Positioning System. The

"plus" model also remembers your elevator trim position for each stop too.



I think it is overkill and (as a gadget nut and 701 owner) I have one that I

don't need. Make me a ridiculous offer.

It is overkill but it is what I was asking for. The auto-trim is kinda cool though. Which one do you have, the one with or without the auto-trim?

"Plus" with auto-trim - nothing is too good for me

That is definitely something you want to have wired right before you fly with it the first time. 



I have to ask. Why didn't you install it?

I never finished my 601XL and the 701 has manual flaps.



If you look at the wiring diagram you can kill it or override it in case of

a malfunction.
