So, I did a smart thing and ordered the PH Aviation flap motor with built-in position sensor. But then I did a dumb thing and sent my flap motor back to Van's without first checking the minimum and maximum extension of it to be able to compensate for the differences in the replacement part.
The PH Aviation instructions say "the PHA actuator is not a drop-in replacement for the stock RV actuator. it is actually about 1.5" longer and a little taller." They go on to show a bracket that they built to mount it in an RV-10, which is apparently a very different mounting than in the RV-14.
Does anyone have measurements or tips to help get the PH Aviation unit working properly in an RV-14? I don't want to put it in and find out many moons from now when I attach the wings that I am unable to fully retract or extend my flaps or that I have an over-center condition or other problem. Even just knowing the minimum and maximum angles that the CS-00010 flap torque arms should have relative to the fuselage would be really helpful.
