Does anyone have an electrical schematic for a single button electric
flap circut. The only one I can come up with will require a momentary AND a
constant contact switch. The actuator I have is the Aircraft Spruce
reversing polarity motor.

Thanks,

The ones I have seen use a DPDT switch, which can be either momentary
or constant.  I would select constant with a pair of limit switches to
protect the
motor and linkages by shutting off the drive in the appropriate direction when
the linkage hits the stops.
