For those of you who installed the Flap Positioning System from
Aircraft Extras, did you install it where Vans suggests to install it in
the tunnel, or elsewhere. I am concerned about the heat in the tunnel.
Any thoughts would really be appreciated.

I would be more concerned about mixing fuel vapors and electronics than heat.
I have a VP/X, but I would put it behind the panel if I were to install one.

Perfect! Just hang on ti it, keep a forklift in the hanger, and you can lift it
up enough to keep two planes in there!

Center front was 24" 8" c chan. 1" pipe weld on each rear skid for handles
and also round support for straps to pull down on landing gear. Flat bar welded
for and aft of each tire to gain extra wedge for tires to ride in.

It took about a hour to weld up and about $300 of metal but I was not going
to chance rolling all that work up a ramp and end up upside down during unload
at paint shop. This was quick and secure and can be used by others once we
are done with it.

I haven't done the aircraft extra's flap system, but we've always found room for
the TCW safety trim box behind the panel. I second installing it there. When
the plane is fully assembled you will have better access as well. The tunnel
cover takes some time to remove and replace.
