C172 Builders and Flap Indicator
Hi Guys,
Im puzzling over how best to make and drive this pointer.I see
Simkits do a replica but i dont like their price. I know they use a
Servo,but has anyone seen or have picture of their mechanical
arrangement.
For that matter how are others doing it?
All suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Les

Re: C172 Builders and Flap Indicator
I have not, but it is a good question, as I want a similiar setup to drive my trim indicators.

Hello
Although it does not specifically cover that type of gauge, I just received my copy of "Building Simulated Aircraft Instrumentation" from Mike's Flight deck http://www.mikesflightdeck.com/ I highly recommend this book. It does talk about using Servo's and shows an example of one.Mike G.

Re: C172 Builders and Flap Indicator
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replys, sorry for the delay. Maybe others havnt got this far or have the real thing.
I found a spiral shaft from a DVD burner that was attached to a stepper. So will use this, along with my own stepper. Did try a servo and pully and cord system but this is a bit bulky.
Still interested to hear from anyone that may have the Simkits arrangement.
Black Widow: I have Mikes first book and it is very good, am going to get the second one sometime soon.
