Brief Description: Trial fit of Flap handle

Since the Cougar doesn't have flaps and I'll be using Tailwind style wings, I need to develop a flap system... so far the best I can figure is to put the flap handle center on the roof and actuate the torque tube in the lower luggage space with a drag-link. The Piper handle is nice, works smoothly, but any handle between the passenger and pilot will remove already precious room -- the simple fact is I ain't as slim as Steve or Mr. Nesmith and nowhere near the mythical FAA 170# humanoid.
