Good morning -7/7A builders,
I have the electric motor for the flaps installed on my -7. I have the flap switch that came with the install kit.
I would like to have an indicator on the panel showing the degree of flaps extended. My options are (as I see it) :
1. Van's Flap Position kit $225. Has switch and some device that allows you to hit the switch once for 10 degrees, again for 20 degrees etc... and one click for flap retraction. No panel indicator.
2. Aircraft Spruce has a POS-12 (some positioner device) for $40 and when hooked to a Ray Allen indicator $100, is a way to visually see the level of flap deployment
3. A fella said that he just used the flap switch that came with the flap motor kit and made some mark on the exterior of his plane and all he does is look out the canopy and take a look at the flap position with reference to his mark. I don't quite understand how to do this.
So what are you using ?
Thanks,
Darren
