Fred,
The attached picture shows how the button lock push pull control (A700 from ACS)
is installed below the instrument module and under the top of the pilot
footwell.
---From there the casing makes 270 turn to the left and enters the tunnel
through
the right side of the foot well, then goes down vertically, following the
firewall to the flap. A spring is not necessary as the natural aerodynamic
forces tend to pull the flap open. When pulled fully closed however, the
aerodynamic
load is very high, so it is critical to build a very rigid and robust flap
(hence the wing shaped profile of my flap). Otherwise the flap flexes under
load and is not effective enough.
