James, 
The type I use is a pressure type. It has two very small plastic hoses that come
---From the pressure port in the wing, through a pair of connectors at the wing
root, to the module behind the instrument panel. There is also a switch that
you incorporate into your flap mechanism to tell the module that you have 
lowered
your flaps. During your initial flight testing, you will perform several 
maneuvers
and save the pressure settings during those maneuvers. So your clean
stall will have a different parameter saved than your dirty stall. The flap 
switch
tells it which one to use. 
If you go back to the Aircraft Spruce website, look up the part number again, 
then
click on Documents and itll take you to the install and operating manual.
You can then see the tubing, CPU, switches, and indicator. All the info about
it is there for you to see. 
Now as for getting the small tubes through your wing, I dont have any idea what
you will have to do to achieve that. Are your wings foam filled? Do you have
a channel for any wires, say from your wingtip lights?

wondering if it (or any model) could be retro-fitted to an existing 1995 
Classic.
