Ron,

Thanks very much for the response.  I will do all that you suggest.  I will also probably do what a local pilot told me about.  That would be to not trust the mocro limit switch completely and to put a switchable circuit in place that bypasses all the switching wiring on the flap motor and simply makes it run in one direction (retract).  That way I would not be caught in a bad situation on a missed approach with flaps that don't work.  What do you think of this?  If it is practical I would think it would be wise for everyone with this type of mechanism to install one.

Thanks
