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,
Neal

Neal, I built one with two relays, activated by two small pushbuttons
located on the control stick. If you are interested I can FAX the
schematic
to you.

If you want a switch actuated controller, use a pair of relays that will
handle the current and wire them into an H with the motor on the crossbar of
the H.  Use a contact of each relay to interlock each other so that you can
not reverse without the other dropping out.  Put a diode across each diode
to create a pause on drop out. That way, your motor can stop turning before
the opposite direction comes in.  Your small up, down control will operate
the two relays.

Come on guys. Please put your comments at the end of a quoted message and not the beginning.
