| Post subject: | Trim and Flap Switches |
I'm returning N80LC to flying condition. S-18, Lyc.O-360, Hartzell CS Prop This is for those with electric trim and flaps and panel mounted switches. What switches are you using? My Switches are Miyama toggle switches MS500J-F 2P3T (Trim) and MS500 SP3T (Flap). The toggle levers are REALLY small, actually to small to comfortably operate. My trim switch toggle lever is broken off. I have a replacement ordered from Germany on Ebay but am thinking I may not receive it! I'd like to replace both switches with standard AN3021-7 (Flap) and AN3027-7 (Trim). Comments or suggestions? Thanks. Steve |

my 2 axis trim and flaps are on my Infinity stick grip. I really like it......sorry, just saw you were looking for input from those with panel switches. |

Ryan, thanks for the response. I would love to go with the Infinity grip, but have to many expenses coming up getting the plane flying again! Steve |

I use the coolee hat switch from Ray Allen for trim on homemade stick grip and auto parts store switch for flaps. |

Thanks, Bob for the info. I canceled the switch order to Germany and ordered the 2 AN switches. They will work fine. It will be fun working behind the instrument panel with the short wires installing the new switches! Steve |

I like the AN switch I installed with the trim system. I mounted it next to the old trim wheel hole and tied the wires up so they can’t get into the control cables. |
