Here we go...

Folks, I'll send the drawings to anyone who asks for them, but I'm going to bow out of the 'discussion'.

Smokey,
I almost never disagree with you but I have to say the electric flap conversion is one of the best mods I've done to my -4. The manual flap handle is just always in the way. Down it interfered with my chute and up my passenger was always knocking it loose on final. The electric flaps are awesome and allow infinite flap settings between up and full. If they won't come down and I need them I'll go somewhere I don't need them. If they get stuck down, I have a plan. Merry Christmas.
