Grant,
I noticed I was flying slightly nose up in cruise in my 701. I dropped the flaperons a small amount and the nose came down and I picked up about 2 mph.

On my Kitfox 2, the flapperons were primarily used to trim the plane, according to the flight manual.

OK, my stupid factor is in high gear today. I'm having difficulty with the flap switch wiring as shown on 6B-20. I've attached a copy. Somebody help me out, as I can't seem to get it right. I see that the black wire from the flap motor goes to the #1 lug. Red goes to number 3 lug. Ground goes to #2. Hot wire from the buss goes to 5 Beyond that I get confused. I've attached the diagram.
Thanks in advance.

Bill,
The idea behind that circuit is that it reverses the polarity going to the motor. One direction and ground is connected to the black and power to the red, push the switch other way and you have the reverse situation. You could hook it up without the limit switches at all and it would still work, but you wouldn't have a switch killing the power when you get to the end of the stroke. Where the schematic shows the wire as if joined in the middle you can hook to either end. You just need wire joining the described lug on the switch to either the motor or the limit switch side that then has a wire going to the motor. I think it will help you if you imagine the circuit without the limit switches.
Hope this helps.
