Hi Jeremy,
I've been thinking about this since we were talking about it a couple of
weeks ago... how about if the outriggers were driven from a servo? There
can't be much load on them and they are locked in place by their own system
so don't need any link to the flaps at all.
The servos could also be linked to the ASI so they are activated when the
speed drops below 50knts (or what ever).
Just an idea...
Cheers,
Mark.
