Menzimer Aircraft, the guys that make the MAC servos, has a position sensor 
and LED bar-graph-type sensor for about $85.  I bought one and have it 
mounted on the back of the aft spar with a little model aircraft pushrod 
connecting it to the flap bellcrank.  It's mounted in the fuselage, down by 
the flap motor.  No weather problems.

A similar unit could be mounted to the underside of the stub wing skin (the 
top of the wheel well) and connected by a model airplane pushrod to that 
little arm intended for the cable-actuated inner gear doors.  (You didn't cut 
it off, did you?)  A small cover should keep the water out.
