Hi Steve, I have found that I can live with it till the next annual
and I have the spare motor which was used on the trim, till I added the
electric trim tab on the elevator.
I am sorry to have started such a controversial thing on the net, but
its the right place to air the situations involving flying and the
Lightning.
Ken's comments were valid in practice, I don't believe he is familiar
with the Lightning and its spec.'s. The proper procedure is to have the
plane in landing configuration prior to turning final on approach. The
glide rate of 17 to 1 is a little tough to slow down when dropping into
a 1200 foot strip with 50 ft trees on both ends, and situated in valley
in the mountains. The 40 degree flap position sure helps.
P.S. On the G5 we deploy flaps 10* at 240mph, 20* at 220 mph and 30* at
180 mph.

Hi Tex,
I have had the same probems as you with the deployment of the flaps. I
have found it a real nuisance during the circuit to bring the speed
back well under the flap limits.
As you can read below I have been in contact with Nick to solve this
problem. I hope Arion will help us to bring the operation of the flaps
to the advertised performance. So far there is 2 choices.
I would like to retain the 40 degree settng, but at what cost to us.
If you hve a any quick fix please et me know.

The 2=94 motor requires longer push rods for the flaps, all other
brackets are the same.

Nick.,
Can the 150 lbs or the shorter throw motor be fitted to the existing
fittings?
What is the cost of thee 2 units and who pays to bring it up to the
advertised flap opertion?

Steve,
We did switch to a motor with a shorter throw at around the beginning of
the year. This limited the flaps to about 25 degrees, I believe we
covered in detail as to why. However one reason was the deployment of
flap at higher speeds than Vf nad the motor not being able to push them
out. For those with 40 degrees of flap and the 4=94 motor there is a
higher torque motor available. The one you have is rated for about
75lbs, there is one for about 150lbs. These are sourced from Motion
Industries here in the states, not sure if you have them over there. I
can try and find an equivalent to that in Australia which would work.
Other wise I can order one here and send it over.
Let me know
