Flap Position Sensor
- The old flap motor (before mid 2022) has no built-in position sensor and needs an external POS12 sensor (available e.g. at Vans) to interface to either the VPX, the Garmin GAD-27 or Dynon electronics. The switch-based flap position option from Vans for the RV-10 is not compatible with modern panels as it has no potentiometer to reflect the flap position. Consider not ordering / installing it. For inspiration on how to link the POS12 sensor to the flap mechanics, check out RV-10 builder logs and check out the POS12 installation instructions for the RV-14, for example section 54 in this N398WM build log. The RV-14 uses a standard 63 mil 1 foot stainless steel rod to make the link.
