rear cowl flap motor

[John C. Noone]

Thanks for the input guys. Has anyone installed the mechanical
conversion in thier skymaster to eliminate the need for the electric motor, wiring, and limit switches. I am surprised these
cowl flap motors are so expensive....can anyone tell me why?
I must be missing something here!
Oh well I heard somewhere that the mechanical conversion
is very hard to operate from the cabin....but I like the idea of
eliminating the need to ever have to buy one of these overpriced
cowl flap motors. Any input here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
