Flap Motor Cover
 
Does anyone have drawings available for a cover over the flap motor arm that extends through the arm rest? Just thought I'd ask before reinventing the wheel! :D

Cover
 
No one in the back has ever complained about my uncovered one in 500 hrs of flying.

I think it would be extra work for little or no return. My two cent opinion, worth just what you paid for it!:D

I made one, about 30 min to make it and used one screw to hold it in. Very EZ!

I figured as much but it's always nice to follow the beaten path if there is one.

Not the best picture and I don't have a drawing, I just folded it with thin Ali and covered it in leather and stuck it on with Velcro

Use the Search tab and type in Flap Actuator Cover. There's a thread from dbuds2 dated 3-15-2009 that includes a link to a drawing for a flap actuator cover (look a few posts down the thread).
