Lincoln, 


I used 16AWG and a 3-amp fuse. That worked great for 2 years, but this wint
er=C2-the 3-amp fuse occasinally blew=C2-when really cold outside (-5F)
.=C2-I suspect the cold grease did not allow the motor to run its normal 
speed.=C2-I upped the fuse to 7.5 amp during the winter and have since re
turned to the original 3-amp without further problems.

Anyone know how many amps the flap motor draws on an RV-7A? =C2-I don't s
ee it listed on the motor itself or on any of the documentation I've got an
d Van's doesn't know offhand either. =C2-I was going to use a 10A fuse an
d 14AWG wire (total wire run of about 15 feet) which seems very conservativ
e, but I'd still like to know what the amperage draw is so I can calculate 
the total "worst-case peak" amperage that my alternator & battery will need
 to produce. =C2-Thanks.
