It is inside the airplane (keeping it out of the weather) and easily accessible for maintenance. This is my implementation(see attached picture). To get the 1 inch travel, I found that having the arm attached close to the outside of the flap tube worked well. I just bent a piece of scrap aluminum, drilling a hole close to the flap tube. I used a 4-40 bolt (with loctite on the nuts) and a short piece of plastic spacer material (from Lowes). This eliminated possible interference between the POS-12 arm and the metal tab. To keep it even simpler, I just placed the angle bracket under the cushion clamp and it seems to work fine. (No drilling in the flap tube.) The total travel of the POS-12 is just about 1 inch of the total 1.2 in available. The comment was made that this provided a non-linear representation of the actual flap extension. This is true, but I'll be calibrating it for the VP-X display with actual flap position measurements that should be close enough. Remember, many folks don't even bother with flap position information, relying on their eyeball measurement by looking out the window.

It is a .DXF file which requires cad software. If you email me I will send it to you. It is worth it only if you intend to have someone laser/water cut your panel for you.

In addition to the vpx we will be adding an emergency buss to power all of the essential equipment. This will include having to install 5 breakers on a panel. This coupled with the backup battery in the dynon D6A we are using for a backup instrument should be more than adequate for a serious IFR platform. The most convincing argument is the "built in" control of all of the servos and flaps. Using the Garmin or any one of the compatible EFIS systems you will be able to display position information directly throught the VPX.
