Electric flap mod

Planning to complete this early next year after buying the kit. Anyone done this and can add some tips and maybe a pic or two? I assume everything I need is in the kit... It will be nice to get rid of the flap handle.

Thanks in advance.

I have the drawings scanned if you want to get an advance look. PM an email address and I'll send 'em out.

There's a phrase I'm not used to seeing when discussing the RV-4

Since several people want them is there someplace on VAF I can upload them and then just point people to them?

Thanks for the PDF Nauga.

Anyone else got any actually pics of the install?

There are several references that might help you if you go to 'flaps' in the index to my blog.

Some good shots in there Steve, thanks. Now I have an idea what I'm facing.

finished!!

Test flew the airplane with the electric flap mod today.... why did I
struggle with the old flap handle so long!! Very happy with the results.
Here's a little video of the actuator in operation FYI. Just in case anyone
out there is toying with upgrading. The 17 second video seems to run best with
Realplayer for some reason. Any jerkyness is only on the video. On the airplane
it operates very smoothly.

As you can see, all of the mechanism is below the floor and in front of
the passenger stick. Any questions I'd be happy to help.

Thanks again to Nauga and Steve for the drawings and pics.

Cheers
