Cessna 172 Flaps control for flightsim

thingiverse

Here is a modification of CaptainBob's Flaps control and an adaptation to Joker_G's Easy home cockpit! I modified the control lever so that it can rotate from right to left with a return spring between the potentiometer and the face plate. The spring presses the lever to the left. This one is maintained in place whatever its position. I added a notch on the bracket to make the lever hold at zero degrees effortlessly. The goal is easy assembly with simple to find parts. You need : - a 10k potentiometer; - a standard 180° servo motor; - an M3 bolt (about 5mm) to fix the axis on the potentiometer; - a M3x12mm bolt with a round head (it's better) for the lever; - two M3 washers (to put on each side of the spring); - AND a basic pen spring!!! (see photo, half of the spring is enough). I also slightly modified the support made by CapatainBob. It does not modify the general assembly. The decal is in the pdf file. I refer you to the webinars of CaptainBob and Stephan (Mobiflight) for the general assembly and especially the configuration (second part of the second video). The pictures are self-explanatory for the setup of my modifications but don't hesitate if you have any questions! You can adjust the effect on the lever by tightening or loosening the nut. If this is not enough you can also remove one or more spring coils. Thanks again to Captain Bob, Stephan Mobiflight and Jokker_G for your great work !
