I recently bought one of the Infinity stick grips for my RV-8. It has an ON/OFF/(ON) switch for the flaps. The up position raises the flaps and stays on until you flip it to the center position.
I am concerned about accidentally hitting it and running the flap motor in the up direction for an extended length of time. The motor won't drive the flaps beyond the full up position (obviously) because the worm gear is designed to stop driving the flaps when they reach the full up position. But the motor would continue to run.
As probably everyone knows, the flap motors are a bit flaky (and expensive). I would like to have a flap up limit switch to cut power to the motor when the flaps are fully up. Can someone suggest a part number and a vendor for this type of part?
thanks,
