I've perused the archives, and while lots of info, still need to determine the next best step. Flaps were intermittent, and popped the breaker twice in 2 years. (at about 120 hrs now.)
I have about 10 hours, or say 20 operations since I removed and cleaned up the flap motor bushings etc. Very thin film of grease found.
Intermittent; Flap will not move after initial set to half flap. ....moving switch up and down a few times with no effect. Turn base to final, try again; now moves normally.
I've bench tested the switch with normal function. In the hangar they'll go up and down all day.
Should I .........
1. replace the stock Van's switch with some super-duty version?
2. then the flap motor?
(most concerned about getting grounded somewhere with full flaps down.)
any ideas? thanks,
