Subject: RV8-List: 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.
