Good point on that limit switch idea. We will have to give that some thought. Perhaps
a red light can come on when the current of the motor increases when it stalls.
Perhaps a solid state circuit breaker that resets automatically when you release the
double pole double throw momentary contact pitch control switch. Solid state circuit
breaker are very popular in aircraft these days.

Jim Weir has an article in Kitplanes discussing a thing called a "PolySwitch resettable
fuse."  Essentially a solid-state, self-resetting, slow-blow circuit breaker.  Data on

Thanks Russell. That is what I had in mind.
Probably work for the flap circuit as well. Might be too slow in resetting.
