It has a flat handle rather than duck bill, but that is close enough.

They carry lots of the items Bob Nuckolls recommends in his designs. S700-2-7 (ON)-OFF-(ON) (+ $15.00) Unfortunately only with a "bat" handle. http://www.bandc.biz/toggleswitch-doublepole.aspx Digikey may have flat handled ones but in the ones I've seen where the flat is plastic the plastic part tends to rotate on the metal shaft after a while. Ray Allen Company (known for their trim servos) makes a nice rocker switch (not a toggle) with two good quality micro-switches inside. The RS2 is only rated for an amp but the RS2-5 is rated for 5 amps. Because the way the switches are wired when the rocker is in the center position the motors windings are shorted which keeps the motor from coasting. http://www.rayallencompany.com/products/switches.html http://www.rayallencompany.com/RACmedia/instructionsT2andT3.pdf http://www.rayallencompany.com/RACmedia/instructionsRS2withmods.pdf -- Craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Juhl Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2013 4:04 PM Subject: Zenith601-List: Flap Switch Has anyone found a source for a good, quality DPDT (mom) off (mom) toggle switch (preferably with a duck bill toggle)?

Momentary for the down and maintained for the up. Flaps will turn off automaticly when they hit the up limit switch. When you are ready to retract the flaps just hit the switch. This will free up your hand to do other things instead of holding the switch.

Building the 601XLB... I have the pre-cut side skin, so the spar cutout has been made by the factory along with most of the rivet lines, etc. The problem is that with everything in the proper position, The spar greatly favors the aft edge of the cutout instead of being nicely centered. Not so much that the wing won't go in, but not an abundance of clearance either. At first I thought I had managed to get spar installed 10mm too far aft, but that is not the case. I've very carefully checked everything to plan. The skin is set so that there is the 24mm of overlap with the tail skin, the pre-drilled rivet lines that go up from the gear channel are in the right place, top of the skin is even with the longeron, etc. Those of you with the cnc'd side skins - where did your center spar end up in relation to the opening?
