Wanting to install "limit switches" on my flaps. (RV-8). Anyone found a good brand or come up with an ingenious design for installation?
A limit switch to turn off the motor when it is full "up" is really handy, as then you can just throw the switch to up and forget about it on a go-around. I don't have a picture handy, but I just use a bracket attached to the switch and then attach that to the actuator with a hose clamp, and set it up to hit the structure when you hit full up on the flaps. Been working perfectly, without adjustment for 12 years and 1800+ hours on the RV-8.

Not sure if it is even a consideration for you but that is just one of the many things the VPX does for you along with a whole bunch more stuff.

What say the brain trust:
Is it worth while putting protection diodes into the flap motor circuit? What about the ckts for the tinier RAC trim modules?
