If you have been thinking about upgrading your flap motor to the new RV Max (now the de facto standard flap actuator replacement) in your RV-8, we are now offering an install kit to facilitate doing this. You might want to do this if you're looking for internal position sensing, say, for a flap positioning system, or just to have a flap position indicator on your display. Otherwise, we recommend the smaller PHA-01 Actuator that has the same dimensions as the OEM flap motor and is literally a dropin replacement. Here is the a photo of an installed RV Max in an RV-8.
The install kit includes the hardware you need for the conversion plus a template that does two things: one, it locates the increased hole size and also locates the new position for the attach bracket on the baggge compartment bulkhead. You don't absolutely need this kit, it just makes it more convenient and faster to do the changeover. Here is a photo of the install kit.
If you're interested please visit our website for more details or contact me and I'll be glad to send you all the documentation on the kit or the actuator.
Thanks!
