Aviat Aircraft restructures flap handle for all Huskys

By General Aviation News Staff · November 18, 2005 ·

Aviat Aircraft has developed a new flap handle that will be standard on all future Huskys and which can be retrofitted to existing aircraft. Designed to provide three settings, 10°, 20° and 30°, the new handle activates the flaps with considerably shorter travel. 

The leverage point for deployment is always in front of the pilot. The older flap handle required pulling the lever behind the pilot’s shoulder.

It takes about one hour to change out the old flap handle and install a new one. Cost for the complete retrofit kit is $532.

For more information: 307-885-3151.
