Can a Cessna flap switch be used instead of the Ray Allan switch for a trim 

servo??? If so does someone have a wiring diagram??  Thanks Dale

  Cessna has lots of flap switches. One of them may be

  what you're looking for but you can make one really easy

  too. See:

Thanks Bob,, Now would you have a wiring diagram to wire the switch up ,, 

instead of using the rocker switch that came with the servo???  Thanks Dale

I think what you need is what I sell lots of--the True Servo Conversion for MAC/RACs. TSCMR. This is a teeny module that converts the external position signal that you get from a voltage divider potentiometer or even a bank of push buttons to control a MAC or RAC trim box.



See:    http://tinyurl.com/2qo222



These are the parts they left out of the trim box that would have made it a servo. This also solves the problem of how to connect all those tiny trim box wires.

I'm going to use Aeroelectric suggestion  The problem is finding the

switch. The type of the one received with the Van's kit is as hard to toggle

as a contactor !

The genuine Cessna switch is awfully expensive !!!

I have a genuine Cessna   150  switch. I just need to find out if it can be 

wired into the system instead of using the supplied switch from Ray Allen 

that was with the servo..

Eric the subject is a flap motor not a MAC servo.

Peter - 



If I understand the descriptions...



Eric's TSCMR, when combined with RAC's position sensor (attached to the

flap mechanism), can be configured to approximate the Cessna-style

set-forget flap switch.

   Cessna had a LOT of different flap controls. Need a photo,

   p/n, perhaps a schematic of the system it came out of.

   Baring that detail of data, you can send me the switch

   and I'll deduce its suitability to task.
