<<I am installing a flap actuator on my Kis Cruiser it is sold by aircraft
spruce
part # 05- 66223 and I need a wiring diagram for this unit and I would like
to
know how to put a brake system on this unit. I would appreciate any
information

If by "brake" you mean a method of braking the motor to a stop after
running, the normal method is to arrange the switching so that the motor is
short-circuited when off.  This will rapidly brake it to a stop.  After
power is removed the actuator will not back-drive so it needs no brake to
hold it in position.  On my ES I arranged a cam and micro-switch arrangement
that works essentially like that in all the Cessnas so I have a pre-select
actuation system.
