Subject: | RV-9A Flap position control |
Building an RV-9A. Is there a schematic available that shows how to con
trol the Flaps in 0, 10, 20, 30 degree increments? Maybe a DC servo con
trol circuit?
Also, in an all metal airframe, is it acceptable to use stainless steel
hardware to ground returns to the airframe?

Does anyone on the list have any personal experience with owning/using
the Flight Cheetah FL190 GPS? If so, what is your general overall
impression and would you recommend it.
Thanks

Ed,
I just started using one of those about two weeks ago.
I was interested in it because of it's size and cost as compared to the
496. It has all of the functionality of the Garmin and then some on a
9" screen (about 3X the size of the 496).
I am hooked on the XM weather, and a unique feature that calculates the
best altutide for fuel burn and time.
So far it's worked as advertised and I'm anxious to see their Hi-way in
the Sky module.
Two things about it I don't like so much. First, it's big (I know, I
know) and I'm having trouble finding a good place in the cockpit for it
(mine has a suction cup mount), and the other is the wires. I spent
some time routing them out of sight, but there are two from the unit
(power and USB) and then all the plugs, hub, XM antennas and GPs
antennas. That's no different than the Garmin though (if you use an
external antenna).
One other thing - as a portable unit it's OK with me that it has a
Windows XP interface (it's nice with wireless in an FBO for checking
eMail) but I have concerns about Windows and stability . . . . . nothing
serious yet though.

Building an RV-9A. Is there a schematic available that shows how to control

circuit?
Check this: http://www.aircraftextras.com/FPS-Plus.htm

hardware to ground returns to the airframe?
A cad plated screw will do for about 25 years

Thanks, Jeff
I am down to one old eye ball and the black/white Garmin 195 is getting
about as long in the tooth as I am. So a larger colored screen certainly
has appeal. But, while I have like the Garmin, I like the idea of
software upgrades rather than buying hardware each time and the data
base subscription costs seemed more reasonable to me. Mine 195 is
canopy (suction cup) mounted and I took their actual size printout and
there is room enough in that location.
Well, good luck, I would be interested in hearing from you after you
have flow with it for a spell.
Best Regards
Ed

Check out chapter 11 of 43.13, specifically tables 11-14, 11-15 and
11-16 as well as figures 11-20, 21 and 22.
Also a good resource:
