Project: I-CAVS     -     Entry

Feb 24, 2022 4 40-6 Flap System step 1-4 Category: Controls
Made the spacers out of the aluminum tubing. Some adjustment required and more adjustment required when mounting the flap motor.
Drilled with some difficulty the 1/16 hole in the flap motor rod. The indication not to move the jam nut and the rod creates a bit of a pain when drilling the hole. Result acceptable.
Preinstallation of the flap motor was easy, some additional trimming of the bellcrank bushing was required.
I also installed the flap positioning sensor and i tested the basic functionalities with the switch following the instructions. It seems that the extension need to be managed by the pilot as the sensor doesn't position automatically the flap in the next position. Retracting works step by step.
Pictures indicate the full retracted and full extended position with blue and red dots on the side skins. Measurement indicated that there is a minimal difference between left and right.
