Hi All,
Great information. I now have a flap issue which would seem to point to the actuator. Yesterday I was on approach and pumped twice and the flaps extended. I went to put the 3rd pump in and the flap handle went limp. I pumped with no resistance. I did a go around and the flaps that were down retracted and I headed back to my home airport. This time on approach, flap handle had no pressure and I was unable to lower flaps. After landing and getting to my hangar, the symptom changed. I feel pressure when I try to lower the flaps , on the first pump the flaps go down but, the handle immediately bounces back and the flap retracts.
I have ordered a rebuilt kit for the actuator also, I do not detect any leaks. Can anyone provide any advice on what to check?
