Hi Tex,
Hey, I like those flap speeds!
On the flap motor issue; I forget just what your panel setup is but I wonder how
accurate your airspeed is. I have a flat screen and a steam driven ASI and
I have found that there is a variable difference between the two of up to 8 -
10 kt. I haven't finished the testing of all this but my opinion ATM is that
the steam driven ASI is good and the errors are in the flat panel and are related
to altitude and / or temperature.
Be that as it may, if I look at the flat panel ASI which is say 8 kt slow, then
I can't get full flap if my ASI is anyway near the max flap speed. Thus it seems
that the flap motor is marginal and won't extend full flap above max flap
speed. Now this is not necessarily a bad thing but it is probably an unintentional
feature.
I'd be interested to know if you are confident of your ASI indications.
Cheers, Selwyn

Hi Allan,
Your installation isn't the Skyview, if I remember right (which I probably
do, since I believe there are only two SkyView Lightning).
For D10/D100/FlightDEK D180 installation, you would need AP74 (AP interface
module - $450), two servos at $750 each, generic installation push-pull
hardware ($50 for both servos + 1/4" rod end bearing sold separately). You
would need to manufacture or buy a couple of aluminum brackets to hold the
servos and a tube clamp for the pitch attachment. Add the cost of wiring and
installation and you are there.
Hope that helps,
Max

Selwyn, I had errors in my system till I modified the pitot tube which is
also the static port. I added another set of holes for the static line. On
the supplied assembly there is one hole. I added another the same size to
the other side. I then placed a set of holes (1/8") about 1 inch back of
these holes. I found that corrected my air speed indications very accurate
and have checked them at all speeds. I use a steam gauge for airspeed and
also found it improved the auto pilot response on altitude.

Hi Tex,
I'd agree that the supplied pitot / static probe will not give good results in
any but ideal conditions and your fix seems a good one. What is exercising my
mind more at the moment is the variable difference between the two ASI indicators
which share the same pitot / static system. Sorting out things like that
helps to keep us off the street I suppose. :D
