Flap handle button
My flap handle button stays in when depressed. It won’t engage the flaps. Has anyone had this happen or does anyone have a drawing that illustrates how this mechanisms works.? It is a 1947 Cessna 140

Re: Flap handle button
Check out the parts manual available in the Resources -> Documents section of the main web site.
Parts 37 and 41 latch the lever in the correct spots.

Re: Flap handle button
The parts manual doesn’t show what part numbers for part 41 and 37. I sent your diagram to the mechanic, any idea where I could order the parts?

Odd... Mine does.
15-37 0425121 Latch - Flap Lever
15-41 0425130 Spring - Flap Lever
Male sure they're broken before you waste time trying to find replacements.

Re: Flap handle button
I had this problem. I inspected the latch (#37 in the diagram) and found a worn spot that would allow the latch to rotate too far and get jammed into the depressed position. I had a TIG welder apply a small amount of filler metal to build up the worn area. Then filed it back to the original profile. Now no more jams.
