| Subject: | Flap Motor Replacement |
Let me see if I can help cut to the chase and post for the archives a less
expensive flap motor replacement solution. When my flap motor failed and I
wanted to replace only the motor, not the worm gear shaft too, I called
Vans. Vans only sells the motor and worm gear as a unit for $300+. However,
Vans was kind enough to put me on to Usher Enterprises (phone 503-992-0015).
They sold me a new motor without the worm gear for $110. Their motor is a
perfect match, bolts up exactly as does Van's motor and works beautifully.
Further, I had the old Vans motor unit (built before 2002) which did not have
the Vans name stamped into the worm gear shaft as do the new units. The
Usher Enterprises flap motor works on both the old and new Vans worm gear
units. When you call Usher Enterprises you may simply ask for "the motor which
operates the flaps on Van's aircraft," they will know what you are talking
about, or ask for Dean and tell him Pete sent you.
I also suggest that when you install the motor you use a tie wrap to hold
the electrical wires tight to the motor body so when the wires vibrate during
flight (as they will) the vibration is not transmitted to the end of the
wires where these wires enter the motor housing.
