Subject: | Flap Acuator Throw |
Hi guys,
I am wiring up my flaps and installing a POS-12 position indicator. I am
some months from installing the wings, so I don't have any way to measure
this directly. I was trying to figure out where to position the flap
actuator so that I could install the POS and get it roughly adjusted.
The throw of the electric screw jack is five inches. What is the position
of the arm that actually moves the flaps oriented when they are fully
extended and fully retracted? Is the arm parallel to the floor at full
extension? Five degrees up, ten degrees? Anyone got a rough approximation?
I am assuming that the actuator uses its full five inches of travel. It
free wheels at either end, which I assume is its limit position. Correct?
Thanks as usual.
