Great info. Thanks all for contributing. I realize 1/3 flaps has lighter loads on the cables and the risk of a break is lessened, but it's good to know if the ailerons have enough authority to counteract. Key point is to keep your hand on the flap lever for a few seconds after lowering them -- not so much so your hand is closer, but more as a reminder of what you need to do instantly if a cable breaks. I also agree that if a cable is going to break, it's likely to do so when you first lower the flaps, not several minutes later when you are closer to the ground.
