I am considering two flap switches on my panel (Zenith STOL 750), one for pilot and one for instructor, which would require a relay deck to interface to the flap motor. The motor has a full-stall draw of 4A, so it is way beyond the 1A rating of the Ray Allen relay deck. The Aircraft Extras unit is rated at 10A so that should not be a problem, but I was wondering if they have a good track record for reliability, ease of installation, etc. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:34:05 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

I guess I could use these for my trim system too, less $ than the RAC relay deck.. I see that the 12V version of the unit you linked to is out of stock - should I look for any 5-pin automotive relay with similar specs, or is there something special about this one? I tweaked your wiring diagram for my 2-switch setup: [image: 2-switch flap wiring.jpg] On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 9:39 PM Robert L.
