No, the device can be set up without position switches. There is an option to
include a position switch as seen in the installation manual (which l'd already
sent to Andy Draper for comment). The middle position is set up by manually
setting it then inputting the button sequence as stated. After set up just push
one of the 3 buttons to select the flap required.

I don't agree with Bob that most flights need just UP or DOWN flap. I nearly always
use MID flap for T/O. We operate from much smaller grass strips where a
tangible improvement in field performance is useful. Having flown a bit in the
US (about 350 hrs but non in a Europa) most airfields have long, hard runways.
The only slight downside is the size of the unit - it is 4in wide (tall in my case)
and may need trimming back.
An Issue?
Having flown 500+ hrs in the Europa there hasn't been a single flight when l haven't
(mildly) cursed the amount of time holding down that darn flap button!

I Have this set up in my Tri gear and too date its worked flawlessly for
11 years,
Press your flap switch for one second and it lowers the flaps to 15 degrees
For take off ( this setting can be changed to your choice)
Once airborne with positive climb hold up on switch for more than 1 second
Will retract flaps fully,
Coming into land, reduce speed to white arch press down on switch for
More than two seconds to lower full flaps, very simple to use,
I also have a manual override to lower flaps normally if needed,
Not totally sure if they are available but worth looking,

All I can say is that your flap motor works quicker than mine! I am sure it takes
about 20 seconds to get to full flap and about 10 seconds to 18 degrees.

I use 1/2 flaps (actually 10 degrees) for takeoff. It's 3 seconds of hold
down.
Like I said. It's just time and money to get custom.
Small planes are also 5 pounds of stuff in a 3 pound bag. Finding room any
where is an issue plus any change you make affects 20 other things in an ex
isting plane.

I=99m tempted to think that Miami might be as dangerous as Bogota

Chris,
The original parts list shows PVC tube 3mm x 6mm. Same tube is called out in the
glider wing build manual.
