TCW Intelligent Flap Control

The TCW Intelligent Flap Controller (IFC) is an electronic controller designed specifically to operate DC motor actuators including the Vans Aircraft series of Flap Actuators used in RV type homebuilt aircraft up to 10 amps. IFC connects to the standard up-off-(down) switches commonly used to control flap operation and directly drives a Vans flap actuator. IFC allows for Pilot and Co-pilot flap switches and resolves the possible conflicts if the switches are operated in opposite directions. IFC requires NO flap position sensor and is fully compatible with Safety-Trim servo controllers. IFC provides flap positioning presets that are easily set without having to adjust a position sensor. Additionally, IFC includes a manual mode of operation to raise or lower the flaps in proportion to the time the flap switch is held closed. IFC is also great for tandem aircraft.
