The plane is in for annual now. After the general inspection we will have a look at the wiring to the motor. I took a look at this once I had it back in the hanger and there is one wire that is loose and has about 1/2inch of clear plastic sleeving that is over the tefzel wire that is missing, and the tefzel wire in that section seems kind of flimsy to me, so perhaps a broken connection internally. this should be easy to see by wiggling the wire while turning on the motor switch. That is a two man job however so I will do this with the mechanic once we are ready to dig into it in a week or so. thanks for all the suggestions on repair of the motor should it come to that. One of the folks is right down the road form me. I also have the STC for cable actuation of the front flaps already, so thankfully only one motor to worry about.
