RV-8 Flap Position Sensor Install

I'm going to install a Ray Allen position sensor for my flaps, which I can display on my G3X and use for a specific performance program. I know that the position sensor has a very small travel range, so I'm looking for ideas on how to engage the sensor and flap control arm within that travel range. Any photos would be appreciated!

I used Mike’s install ideas. Key is that it’s stable, durable and produces repeatable outputs.

Here is my setup. I used the ball and socket RC pushrod connectors to make it easy to install and to remove. There was some trial and error of getting the position on the flap arm to ensure the sensor has most of the movement range. The homemade bracket around the flap arm is to provide an easy contraption to test the pushrod end location at the flap[. The slight flexibility of the bracket is to prevent the sensor from overly compressed or extended if you get the initial position wrong.

Here's what I did

Flap Sensor/G3X Intergration

In regards to a wiring schematic, how do the signals from the flap sensor feed to the G3X?

I'm just starting to think about my schematic development and this is a question I've had in the back of my mind.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Good luck

Perfect. That's the diagram I was looking for. Guess I just didn't look far enough in the manual. I know, RTFM...

Thanks much.
