Great Service
Just to follow up - I received the new motor brush assembly from Motion Systems today a mere 24 hours after talking to them.
For $16 you can clean and refurbish one of the older actuators with a new brush assembly (p/n 79633-004) - and I'm sure that their service for complete motor replacements is just as good.
They are in New Jersey at

From Rosie: I just bought a new set of brushes on 12 Oct 2011, no change in price, part & contact info all good ;-)

Converting to Manual Flaps on RV7
I am having the same problem described avove with my flap motor. Has anyone out there tried to convert their RV7/8/9 to manual flaps? If so, I would be interested in how it went and how you did it (ie. from scratch, used an old RV6 manual flap actuator, etc.)

Flap Motor issues
Paul, there seems to be several approaches to a solution.
I ordered a brush set from http://www.clickautomation.com/
and replaced the original brushes with the new one. I had cleaned the original ones a couple of times. I actually ordered two brush plates and carry a spare. My story is that carrying the spare made "Murphy" go ride with someone else, as I have not had a failure since. The part number that I used on Click Automations web site for the new style brush plate that fits the Pittman 9400 series motor is 862754 The brush plate looks a little different as it didn't have specific springs behind the brushes but the brushes were actually bonded to some leaf style springs but it works great. I think the cost was $14 for the brush but the shipping was as much as the part - not uncommon these days.
Sorry if this has already been mentioned in past posts.

Do "new motors" use/need the brush replacement?
Just wondering if folks have been working the brush replacement on the new motors,(block with Vans on side) and if so, what part numbers from what vendor?
Flaps have been intermittent, and wiring and switch check out.... and no circuit breaker popping. Yesterday they would not come up,. but after running them down a bit, they came all the way up. Have been chasing this for several flights and several cycles of work/don't work.

FWIW .... In Jan 2010 it was said Vans had changed the vendor from Usher Enterprises (503)992-0015 to "Pittman". I don't have an address or phone for Pittman.

oops ...
...clicked too soon. Sorry, that was the wrong Pittman Motors link.
The Pittman motor mfgr we're interested in is a division of Ametek Industries. Here's the right one: http://www.ametektip.com/

Flap motor woes
My 7A has about 520 hrs on it and the flaps work then they don't, touch down and maybe they work again! After reading all the great posts on the subject I took the motor apart and found a little grease and carbon dust in the commutator- obvious problem! I took it all apart and cleaned with contact cleaner, then I used an exacto knife to clean the groove between each copper commutator segment. I made a little horseshoe to get the brush assy. back on out of some sheet metal. All put back together and seems flawless! I highly recommend this procedure if your having intermittent woes, and your switch and wiring checks out! My hats off to this website, Vans, and all the users that contribute the info! Thanks All!
