Just bought the T-6 and have had fun with it so far. I only have one problem that I can't figure out, and that has to do with the flaps. They won't move at all! I move the flap handle and nothing happens. I show hydraulic pressure. What am I missing here? This is on a brand new T-6 with few hours.
Thanks,
Flaps Won't Budge

Re: Flaps Won't Budge
is the engine running? stupid question, but it could be whats stopping your flaps from moving, also make sure the handle stays in the down position...if you bring it to neutral, they stop lowering...
Re: Flaps Won't Budge
I flew a two hour flight with it and periodically tried to move the flaps during the trip, but they wouldn't budge.
I should note that the flap indicator does move, just not the flaps themselves.

Hi.
Two questions.
1 , did you look on the outside , under the wings , to see if they where moveing.
2. what speed was you doing , if you are going to fast this will jam them in the up positon.
Also you need to hit the flap down or up twice , before they move.

I'll try your suggestions out tonight if I get a minute and report back.
Re: Flaps Won't Budge
Alan's suggestions are on point. If the flaps truly are jammed, take a visit to the Shift-7 Hangar and fix them up, and any other issues your plane has!

Let us know how you get on I'd be thinking jammed in this case, that'll need repairing.
