I ran into the same excessive flap actuator throw problem.  Vern at =

Lancair said that earlier versions of the actuator were superceded by =

units with a shorter throw.  He sent me one of the later units.  It was =

the same as the one already installed.  Vern also said that they had =

supplied spacers with the earlier versions of the actuator which were to =

be installed inside the cylinder and thus limit the throw internally.

He didn't have any in stock so I made one out of an aileron push tube =

rod end spacer.  The spacer fits like it was made for that purpose.  =

With the spacer cut down to about 3/16" and installed in the cylinder =

the piston throw is perfect.

I'm not an engineer, so anyone who wishes to use this solution should =

proceed accordingly.
