Default Flap actuator length?

Can someone please confirm the fully retracted and extended length's of the electric flap actuator on the rv6?

I have done a search but only came up with the rv8.

Thanks in advance
AJ

AJ,

I re-read your post and think I misunderstood you the first time. Anyway, the total throw is 5". Fully extended is 15 3/8" (hole center to center). Fully retracted is 10 3/8". However, this is somewhat adjustable with the rod end thread depth.
