Hey guys! So I have this problem with my CTSW From 2004. So I was out flying in December and Before flying I cycled though all the flaps positions from -12 to 40 and 40 to -12 and everything worked great. Upon landing I switch the flaps from -12 > 0 and no problem here Then 0 > 15 and it worked great Then 15 > 30 and this is where things started to go wrong. The flaps stopped moving for a short while and then the flaps fully retracted! Fortunately, I managed to land safely. Upon landing I reset the main power and the flaps worked flawlessly again. ---- Then 10h of flightime with no problems ---- Then today something similar happened! Before flying I cycled though all the flaps positions from -12 to 40 and 40 to -12 and everything worked great. Upon landing I switch the flaps from -12 > 0 and it worked great Then 0 > 15 and same here it worked great Then 15 > 30 and this is, once again where things started to go wrong. The flaps stopped moving and the display was only blinking "30". After landing I selected 40 and the flaps retracted fully! ---- Both of these days the temperatur was below freezing around -5°C Could someone please help me to troubleshoot this? Any ideas what might be causing this? Sorry for my poor English! I live in sweden

I've been able to manually raise the flaps past the -6 position using the flap switch. There is no indication on the flap viewing screen of any flap position when I do this. Anyone familiar with this? Could this be a -12 position? I don't seem to gain much speed doing this, maybe a knot or two. Any safety issues involved? Thanks for any help...
