Flap actuator stroke

[DrHolling]

What is the stroke length for the standard Van's RV-7 flap actuator?

Thanks,
Dave

Just saw this post. I will try to remember to measure mine this coming weekend while installing the up limit switch from PHAviation.

Got it

I made a measurement of mine and found the travel is ~5". Too bad it's not a 'standard' stroke length (most are 2" increments) as there would be some alternatives that would simplify mounting and eliminate the need to secure the rod end bearing at the end.
