Does any one have a diagram of the new flap actuator switch wiring positions.
The plans only show the old type with the limit switches attached.
Thank you

Just wire it as a polarity reversing switch. Use a DPDT switch with a center
off position. The up and down positions should be non-latching (momentary).
Sometimes denoted as (on)-off-(on). Wiring here:

The right switch from B&C would be an S700-2-7.
I've attached an image from the AeroElectric book but you may only be able
to see it if you go to the Matronics web version of the list.

| Subject: | Re: Aileron gap seal. |
I will like to give my point of view about this matter...-- For me now
flying my 701 and (hope) soon the 601 XLB...-- My idea of a clean airpl
ane is not related with more top speed.
-
I fly to enjoy my flight, is useless to get there faster,- just take off
half an hour sooner and you save a lot of gas and time, same fun-:-)-
-
-
My idea of "cleaning" is more-to have a better range- and saving a few
bucks in gas is a bonus.- we redesigned the cowling of-our 701 and got
-a few mph in cruise (from 84 to around 92 mph) at 5,100 rpms-the flyin
g range has improved and the handling keeps great...- Now we have a much
better 701, we used to have a wonderfull 701 :-)
-
I also think that we never finish working on our airplanes...- "cleaning"
the plane is a better alternative to "adding goodies" and of course weight
.-
Go ahead with the work,- time with the airplane is always rewarding.
-
Also a forgoten point...- improve-our flying skills,- some pilots mig
ht -fly a little uncordinated (ball not exactly centered) or a "click" ou
t of trim...- this generates a lttle drag and of course reduces speed-
(how much? dont know).
-
Back to working...

It is a pretty clean plane, and wheel pants would help, but your prop pitch
has a lot to do with it, also. Generally, you get either good climbouts or
good cruise, but rarely both with a fixed-pitch prop. There's a ton of tal
ent and experience on this net, and I'm sure somebody will have your engine
/prop combo, and has probably dealt with the problem. I think there's gener
al agreement that wheelpants will give you some additional knots, and a few
tweaks, assuming you have a ground-adjustable prop, might very well do it
for you.- Frankly, I'm envious of anyone whose plane is done. Whenever I
get done, I may name it "Great Pyramid", or "Great Wall", or anything else
that took years, and years, and years, and.... well, you get the idea.- H
ang in there.

Paul,
--- Interesting that you say it is a "slick plane", I find that I hit
a speed wall at about 120 MPH. Even with the 120 HP Jabiru 3300 on it, get
ting much above 120 MPH is a very high throttle process and above 130 MPH i
s very full throttle.
--- Granted I don't have wheel pants on it yet but I did expect bette
r. When I built it, I thought I could reasonable expect 115-120 knots (138
MPH) in cruse with the Jabiru 3300 working at 75%.
--- Are you saying that I should expect it to have less drag than I a
m experiencing?

Has anyone looked at the gap on the bottom of the aileron to see how much d
rag it causes. It would seem that on other aircraft much smaller gaps have
been covered to reduce drag with significant results. Any reason it won't w
ork on the CH601?
