I solved this problem by adding a second restrictor fitting on the flap cylinder.  I now get a standard eight second second retract/extend cycle which gives me adequate response time in an emergency situation.

If I get a go-around situation, I can depend on my control  imputs being effective with no pitch excursions from flaps snapping closed, and I can depend on keeping my eyes on the runway with no reaching to joggle the flap switch.

I like your solution. Could you email me the information on the orifice size and where you put it? Seams like a better go around solution than using reduced power, Iike I have thought about, until I get the flaps under control.
