Flap tube

[ccsmith51]

Since my flap motor and actuator are on the fritz, I'm thinking of converting back to manual flaps. Does anybody have a set of prints handy that could tell me the PN of the RV-4 manual flap toque tube? Anybody that converted from manual to electric flaps have one for sale?

Thanks,

Chris,
The electric flap weldment is a modified version of the manual system. Yours could be converted by welding on the provision for the actuating arm. I would think twice before making the change. Some older actuators were prone to failure, and a replacement will probably last a lifetime. If you have ever been a backseater in a -4 with manual flaps, you will quickly learn there is interference with your left foot when flaps are being set.
