(Dave Saylor) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 08:04:17 PM PST US From: Dave Saylor Subject: RV10-List: Bad flap motor? Today the flaps would not fully retract. After a bit of troubleshooting I found they would retract if I gently lifted the trailing edge while commanding "retract" with the switch. Everything seems tight. The problem is repeatable. I have the Showplanes positioner but this is happening between positions so I don't think it's related. Seems like a weak flap motor but don't know why it works from full down up to about 1/3, then needs an assist for the final bit. It's not super scary, so we plan to finish our trip. Have others seen this? The motor is from 2007 with about 2500 hours so wouldn't be too put out if it failed! --Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
