Thanks Scott.
I would appreciate a picture if you can
get one. The Legacy uses the linear flap motor as well. Since it
moves up and down as well as in and out, I could use some visual direction as
to how to mount the switch. Others have mounted it on the torque
arm. I am open to suggestions… J

I installed mine so that when my right hand was wrapped around the
throttle I could reach it with my thumb. My flap switch is spring loaded to
center off when pressed down and stays in the up position when released.

I am installing the Angle of Attack
instrument in my Legacy. I am wondering where some of you installed your
flap switch???
Pictures would be really nice if you have
them.
I think Bill is looking for flap position
information to send to the AOA device so the lift reserve calculation is proper
for clean or dirty.
I put a lever-armed micro switch on the
linear flap motor. The switch is activated by sensing the end of the
guide rod passing by when the flap is deployed beyond the desired angle.
I will see if I can get a picture the next time I am out at the
airport. Maybe this is irrelevant - I don't remember if the Legacy uses a
flap extension mechanism similar to that in the 300 series Lancairs.
