The switch was momentary extend-off-latch up. This was a mistake, as on numerous occasion on approach, the flap switch = was inadvertently knocked to the UP position and the flaps retracted. This inadvertent selection was not only by me as the pilot but also by passengers simply by catching it is a sleeve cuff of other means. Last month I replaced the switch to latch OFF, and momentary UP and = EXTEND. In my opinion, a much safer condition. Regards Dom Crain VH-CZJ Flap Switch I am building L-360 and currently working on a panel and flap system. = Could you please let me know the most suitable switch for flap operation. I = will place my switch on the bottom right of off avionics' stack. I am not = sure if I should use "on-off-momentary" or "momentary-off-momentary" flap = switch. Also I am considering putting this switch on the side of Infinity stick, perhaps. Thank you in advance for your comments. Regards, Garry V. Laznicka L-360MK-IIc=20
