Thanks for the response that the flap would reset to "0" if the cable breaks. As for the pithy comments about maintentance, and it never happening if, blah.. blah... blah... You have got to be kidding me?

I guess based on the assurance that good maintentace is all I have to concern myself with, I will add a little useful load by throwing my Emergency POH overboard.

No, I'm not kidding anyone. You can invent emergency procedures for everything.

Typically flaps aren't used at altitude but close to the ground. If your flaps go asymmetric at 50 feet on landing I doubt seriously anyone will have quick enough reactions to overcome the control forces.

Part of safe and proficient flying is having everything in order, both the pilot and the airplane. If the flaps are suspect have a mechanic go through the system and do a very thorough inspection. Unfortunately in general aviation most owners wait for something to break before considering fixing it because they feel preventative maintenance is too costly. If you observe operators that fly airplanes commercially and do all the maintenance their failure rates are alot less because they find the problems before they become an in flight emergency, not always but a much better record.
