Here's a success I thought I'd report on.  I've been used to flying Mooneys that
allow you to flick the flap switch momentarily in the up direction and have the
flaps continue to go up until they are fully raised.  This is nice when you are
busy right after take-off on an IFR flight plan and usually get the tower call
to go to Departure at that moment.  I've wired up a duplicate of this by
splicing in 3 relays into the flap circuitry.  2 relays give me 'up' action (1
relay could do this) and the 3rd allows me to break the 'up' action at any point
as it is moving.  This is like one touch up car windows that are now appearing. It requires one wire going back to the flap motor, 3 wires going to the flap
switch and several grounds.  If there's interest, I'll provide a schematic.
