It is a bit different than those with pre-set positions. Our flap controller allows pilot and co-pilot flap switches and also provides Vfe protection. The controller is connected to an airspeed switch and prevent you from deploying the flaps above a preset airspeed. All the details our on our web site: www.tcwtech.com. Follow the link for Aviation Products and then click on Intelligent Flap Controller.

Anyone on here have that setup? If so, did you need to branch off witha separate fuse, or just parallel into, say the fused 12 volt source for the garmin 296 or simular?

Go to www.aircraftextras.com and see that they have several neat things for your bird. I bought several things. Mine is now flying and its great. I bought Van's unit and it works great. AircraftExtras has a simpler to install unit and I understand it works well.

Gabe, I've been using the Rocket link for several years on my RV-6. You should not have any operational or maintenance issues with the link. It handles pretty much like a properly adjusted set of chains, just looks nicer and faster. :-) Sam Buchanan http://thervjournal.com ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 10:07:41 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: RV/Rocket Steering Link From: Michael W Stewart >From the other side. I have ~800 hours on my steering link. It failed 2 weeks ago. I went to chains with the intention of getting my link fixed and using the chains to get by. The chains will stay. I feel the chains have a superi or feel. Soft, relaxing feel compared to the link. It looks like Im loosin g 5 knots with those air grabbing, speed robbing chains, but Im surely not. My tail is about 20lbs heavier than the average RV and takes additional abuse with the crummy short fields I have to crash land into in order f or my buds to feed me.

Empennage: Complete except for fiberglass tips. Includes electric elevator trim kit. All parts are alodined and primed with Marhyde primer. Wings & Phlogiston Spar: Both skeletons fully assembled. Top skins riveted. Both tanks are complete and sealed. Flaps and ailerons complete, but not fitted. Includes electric aileron trim kit. All parts are alodined and primed with Deft epoxy primer (Mil-P-23377G). Both kits are the pre-punched versions purchased in 1997 & 1998 by myself. Construction is excellent. Preview plans and Orndorff videos are included for both kits. Detailed photos are available upon request. Must sell. The first $3750 takes it all. Buyer arranges transportation. If all items were purchased separately the price would be more than $6500 for the unassembled kits.
