I stopped by the hobby shop tonight and picked up some small 4-40 threaded rod and some threaded clevis ends to connect the flap arm to the Ray Allen position sensor that will feed the flap position to the VP-X. \u00a0I stole the dimensions from Mike Bullock’s site<\/a> and they worked perfectly.<\/p>\n

I fabricated a small clip that bolts to the adel clamp to connect the clevis to the flap rod. \u00a0I used a piece of 0.063″ angle with one leg mostly cut off. \u00a0This wraps around the side of the adel clamp flange and will prevent it from rotating.<\/p>\n
