I'm about ready to place an order for the RV9A wings kit and must make a
decision regarding flaps.
How about some pros and cons on the subject.

Unless Van has made a recent change, electric flaps have always been
standard on the RV-9/9A.

For your consideration: I like the electric flaps and some builders have
installed the optional kit that gives you flap positioning with just a flip
of the switch. When they're down, flipping the switch will raise them
completely. Several builders felt the electric trim system didn't give
sensitive enough control so have installed a switch that selects reduced
trim voltage when flaps are raised, and full trim voltage when flaps are
deployed. Some have the flap switch on the stick grip but mine is on the
panel near the throttle so that I can raise the flaps with my hand on the
throttle. Some have a flap position indicator on the panel, some use the
stripped matching lines on the trailing edge of the wing method and some
just look out the window to see flap position. Apparently whatever method
you pick, it will turn out to be the best way of doing things.

You don't get a choice on this one. The -9A comes standard with
electric flaps, and there is no mention in the plans for a manual flap
option.

Hi Allen, as the other posts have pointed out the only
choice is electric. You could probably design a manual
system but the electric systems works very well. I
chose to keep mine as simple as possible, just the 2
position momentary contact switch on the panel. It
takes 8 seconds from full up to full down. I can
easily look out the window and see the position or
believe it or not you can hear when the motor comes
to the end of it's travel.
