Brief Description:  Reinstalled flap switch-Wiring continues

We are back from Sun n Fun and have surprisingly missed working on the plane. I talked to some of Van's employees about the canopy and hope that they gave me a few tips. Nell and I had a good time but were tired after two days.
I had "fried" the flap position switch and sent it back for repair. It returned while I was at Sun n Fun and I reinstalled it. It works fine extending the flaps and raises the flaps OK but when they are fully retracted, the flap motor doesn't turn off. I will call tomorrow for advice.
I continued with the wiring. I wired the pilot PTT and autopilot disconnect wires to the plug but still have to solder the switches in the stick grip. I also wired the Molex plug for the Gretz heated pitot but need a couple more small male pins to finish.
Vern Darley had found on his inspection that the left flap was a bit low as compared to the right one. I got out our oak plank that we used to adjust the ailerons, zeroed both ailerons and then raised the left flap to match the ailerons and also checked that the left flap also matched the ailerons. Now everything looks better.
