Hints
- Vans sells a flap position sensor kit, however it is not sensing the continuous flap deployment angle, rather it is a set of switches that close at specific positions. This sensor is not compatible with modern avionics which need an analog voltage input.
- Vans has upgraded the flap motor in 2023 to a model that has an analog voltage output compatible with modern avionics.
- Ray Allen makes the "POS-12" flap position sensor which is needed for the older flap motors.
- Installation of the POS-12 is discussed in this: FB Post
