My aircraft has such manually operated flaps, it also has a separate trim tab operated by the flaps. Last Saturday was windy, and with a 25knot crosswind I elected to land at some 30deg to the runway heading with just 200metres to touch down and roll out between the edge of the grass and an avgas store. Closed the throttle at 200ft, flap lever in one hand stick in the other, I was able to touchdown within a foot or so of where I wanted it, stopped in 130metres.
Taxiing in it slowly described a very gentle ground loop through 180 deg, keeping the tail down I managed to keep it going all the way round. First for me, completely un commanded out of control but very gentle. I love that aircraft, it lets me get away with murder.
Electric flaps are a different thing altogether.
