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.
