Default S-H Ventus light-bar flap position indicator

Some Venti (not all) featured an 8 position LED light-bar centered on the instrument panel hood which would identify flap position.

What "electronics" are used under the seat pan on the flap handle mechanism to "switch" the LEDs? Are there 8 individual reflective sensors reading the flap positions?


Hi ..This is a old thread but I have a flap indicator lights on a small narrow bar in the center of my panel (Ventus b),The plug in ribbon is worn and connectors don't work well anymore. Is there a source that I can buy a replacement light strip?

Dennis, try calling Heinz or Monty. Their numbers are on the website. You may have to leave a message, either of them could be working away from home for a few days.
