Here is the flap circut from Chuck Dunlaps RV6. I added up and down

switches, but it is the simplest circut I've found. The diodes across

Thanks again Chuck,

The limit switches won't work with this circuit. Once they open, the

motor

cannot be actuated again unless the limit switches are shorted. My

circuit

works with Van's motor because it free runs at the end of its travel

without

hurting anything, so it doesn't need limit switches. If you have a

mechanism

that would bind at end-of-travel, you will need limit switches and a
different (more complex) circuit.

 Chuck, I don't see why the NC limit switch on the "UP" circut being open

would keep the NC  "DOWN" circut from working. or vica versa, and as soon as
you close the up circut again by lowering the flaps, both will be available.
Am I wrong in this?
