New control surfaces on the wings (Ailerons & Flaps) are essentially complete.
The Flaps will be electrically actuated and the actuator has been installed.

I am doing something quite similar to you, ‘restoring’ and old RV-3, although I am not doing the new wings, only the wing mods. As for the flaps, what actuator are you using and what method for all of the support structure, etc?
Thanks!

Hello Splinter, I did not purchase the actuator so I’m not sure, but it has Van’s stamped into it so I’m assuming it came from Vans. I can get you some more details and some pictures of what’s installed so far.
The RV-3 forum on Vansairforce had a good discussion about some alternative actuators a couple of years back, so you may want to take a look there also.
On your last question, I’m not sure why I’m doing this, other than I’m having a lot of fun.

Thanks for the info, Mark. I was wondering if it was a Vans actuator, and sounds like it is! Best of luck!! See you on the VAF forums.

You bet Splinter, I just emailed you some pictures of my actuator and the install. Best of luck to you also!
