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. Available at e.g. Stein Air.
