Finished Flap Position Sensor Installation

I wrapped up the flap position sensor installation tonight.  I installed the 4-40 threaded rod between the bracket I fabricated and the position sensor and adjusted the length so that it moves the position sensor arm through the full range of travel.  I then installed a couple of locking jam nuts to keep the rod from moving.

Next, I configured the flaps with a couple of intermediate stop points.  I’ll duplicate these settings in the VP-X so that it will automatically stop at these points when I tap the flaps switch.  I probably won’t enable that feature during initial flight testing though.  Here’s the indication when the flaps are all the way up.
