| Subject: | RV-8 Flap Sensor - A Simple Installation Design...? |
Hi Matt=2C
While Dave and I did not utilize a MAC flap indicator on our 8=2C we did in
stall a micro switch for our AOA (now Advanced Flight Systems) to toggle be
tween cruise and landing configuration. We utilized a micro switch that act
ivated at 20 degrees flap extension. It was a simple bracket located on the
opposite end of the flap weldment ( right side of the bracket - facing for
ward). Before Jim Frantz sold his AOA company to Advanced Flight Systems th
ere was a picture of the installation. You might call Advanced and see if t
hey still have a copy of the installation jpegs or le me know and I'll try
and find it.

Matt, I simply bent a piece of scrap Al (025 or 032??) to mount my POS-12.
Since the screws fastening the support to the bulkhead were inside of the
baggage wall (between the baggage wall and the fuselage skin), I used #6 nut
plates (for future service). In addition the termination of the wires (pins and
barrels) are on the fwd side of the bulkhead (in case I needed to change out
the sensor in the future... old photo during construction). You'll need to
adjust the length/position of the threaded rod/clevis for the appropriate travel
Pretty simple and has worked well on my AF2500.

Hi Matt-
I've used that sensor in my -8, and would be happy to send you pix. Unfortunately,
I'm on the road this week and will not be able to access the pix until the
beginning of next week.

I have been monitoring ACK's new ELT development, because we use the same
HALT testing lab for my company's equipment, as it would be an easy drop-in for
my old E-01.
They will be finishing up their qual testing at Ft Huachuca this month and
will be submitting the results to the FAA. They hope for a late March retail
launch of the product. The retrofit kit (sans tray and control panel module)
that reuses your old tray and panel module will be $599.
I don't think that AOPA did us any favors by successfully fighting the
adoption of the new equipment in the US, but maybe some of you have a differing
view. I know that I will be getting one ASAP.
