Hi all, on my 14 I'm having some issues with my flaps that I believe is due to a faulty position sensor. I didn't build the airplane so I've researched as much as I can and am about to take it to the mechanic, but he's no RV expert so I'm trying to get as educated as possible.
Here is a list of observations:
Thanks for your help.
Here is a list of observations:
- The flap indicator in the G3X periodically doesn't correspond to reality. Ex. flaps are all the way up but the indicator shows half down. Then the next time I start the plane it might be showing correctly.
- When connected to the VPX unit (via computer using the VPX configurator software), the flap position number moves in unexpected ways. When I move the flaps down, it may initially show the position number going in the opposite direction. Then it'll jump roughly to where it's supposed to be. However the movement is somewhat erratic, unstable, and non-linear.
- Setting the correct endpoints is impossible because the resting position of UP or DOWN varies (position number when flaps full up or down can be different cycle to cycle).
Thanks for your help.
