Microswitch Based Cessna Flap Control

Microswitch Based Cessna Flap Control

As a Cessna 172 pilot I am frustrated by the lack of stability of potentiometer based flap controls. Passive electronic components combined with A/D conversion, introduce noise in the signal that shows up in the cockpit as jitter in the flap lever! I find this issue detracts from my enjoyment flying my virtual aircraft. To solve this issue I created a Flap Control based on how a real Cessna 172 flap control works, that is, using microswitches to determine the selected flap setting.
