I need to replace the 12vdc actuator on my belly board. I could buy another from Van's Aircraft but I prefer not to spend the $320 they want for it. I found another source where I can buy them at 1/3rd the cost of Van's. What I need to know is the pounds force it takes to deploy my belly board. Here are the parameters: Board measures 9" x 30"x 1/8" 6061T6 Deployment speed max 110 MPH.
I know there has to be a formula out there to figure this and I hope someone smarter than me can tell me the pounds of force I need to accomplish a smooth and full deployment to 80 degrees from fuselage bottom. Oh yea, The stroke is 7 inches. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.flykr2s.com
