Flap position sensor
Catégorie: Fuselage : Cabin

The flaps position system needs to sense the flaps position so I install a linear sensor.
First I fabricate a small bracket with some leftover aluminium. Here the bracket is already riveted in position.



The sensor is then screwed to the bracket. The sensing arm is at the lower right.



Then I use some parts that were part of the aileron trim and that are not used there to connect the sensor to a clamp on the flaps tube. The clamp will be replaced as it's not the correct size.
The part with the red mark will have to be slightly modified as there is some interference with the clevis.
After final assembly some adjustement can be made by moving the clamp or cutting some length from the rod.
On the picture the flaps are up, and the slider on sensor is completely out.



On this picture, the flaps are down and the slider on the sensor is retracted.



I also riveted the small bracket fabricated yesterday and bolted on the microswitch.
