I've searched in vain for a flap position switch which has a wide broad
flat paddle for the toggle, similar to what Cessna uses. anybody know
where you can pick one of the up?

Make a paddle out of wood and epoxy it to a standard spring-return-to-
center toggle switch.

I could give you a part number for the switch used on
Bonanzas but you'd have to mortgage the dog to afford
it. Best you consider the DIY project.

Avionics Systems has one. Quite pricey at $90 each. See it here
<http://www.avionikits.com/>.
Or maybe ebay. Here was a Cessna 150 switch that sold for $9.

Tried to check this out but it seems to have been removed
from Ebay's listings. Be cautious of "Cessna flap switch"
listings. Some airplanes do use a switch modified to add
the "flap" shape to the toggle. Other Cessna flap "switches"
are really an assembly of flap handle, microswitches and
a moveable mounting plate for switches that is driven by
a Bowden cable attached to flaps. This is a rudimentary
servo-system developed at Cessna for a set-it-and-forget-it
style flap control and is probably not well suited to most
OBAM aircraft projects. Although I'll have to admit that
the idea was pretty clever!
