Plans for electric flaps
Does anyone have plans for the electric flap conversion? I've got the actuator and hardware, just need a set of plans so I can get the measurements.

I've got the drawings in a .pdf, send me a pm with an email address and I'll send them to you.
I've asked a couple times about putting them somewhere on the site but never gotten an answer....anyone?

Send them to Doug - he can add them to the links portion of the front page.

Thanks.
I'm assuming this conversion is the same for the 3 as the 4, right Paul?

It's very different from the pictures Paul has posted of his RV-3. I don't know if his was stock or not. The stock -4 has a walking beam under the cockpit floor between the flap weldment and the actuator, Paul shows a direct actuator-to-weldment.

Correct - the -4 geometry is very different from the -3 because of the back seat.

Arlie,
If I may ask, why?
Why go from a very positive, instant feedback, STOL strip friendly, no juice required and BTW fool-proof system to a slower, heavier, electrically actuated system? Having owned and flown both extensively I'm curious...
