Subjec= t: [FlyRotary] Flap Control?

 =3B

Hello All=2C

 =3B<= /FONT>

I am probably a = little off-topic here=2C but you guys provide such great information that I= thought I=92d run this one past you.

 =3B<= /FONT>

I=92m looking fo= r a flap controller for an RV-7 that mimics the good-old C-172 flap control= ler. =3B

 =3B<= /FONT>

I like the C-172= system because it:

 =3B<= /FONT>

  1. does not= require the pilot to hold the switch until the flaps are in the desired po= sition
  2. give a v= isual indication of both the selected position and the actual flap position=
  3. allows t= he pilot to select any flap position=2C no matter what the current flap pos= ition is

 =3B<= /FONT>

 =3B<= /FONT>

I don=92t like t= he C-172 system because it:

 =3B<= /FONT>

  1. is full = of speedometer cables and limit switches

 =3B<= /FONT>

 =3B<= /FONT>

 =3B<= /FONT>

Does anyone know= of any after-market devices that accomplish these goals? =3B After Goo= gleing for a while I found a few=2C but none that meet these criteria. = =3B Perhaps I overlooked something=85

 =3B<= /FONT>

As always=2C any= suggestions are much appreciated=2C

 =3B<= /FONT>
