FWIW

Could attempting to deploy flaps at too high a speed result in an
overload resulting in a blown CB?

Could attempting to deploy flaps with an ice buildup result in an
overload resulting in a blown CB?

Could there be any other conditions (bird's nest, or ????) that might be
cleared during flight or by multiple attempts to deploy flaps?

I'm in favor of a resettable CB.

Thanks,

Ok, so we're all in agreement that either resetting a breaker or
replacing a fuse on flaps in flight is completely futile? And were quite
sure no one in history has recovered from a popped breaker on a flap
motor?

That makes my decision easy.

Thanks All,

Yes, I tend to agree - there must be some value (and a lot of memorable
stories) in being able to reset flaps at least once. Sure, if a problem
exists, or I see smoke - forget it, but for all the reasons mentioned
it's worth $20.

Sure, some conditions could be cleared by multiple attempts to reset CBs. If the CB has popped for a good reason, multiple attempts to reset it could start an electrical fire (witness the Air Canada DC-9 accident in Cincinatii many years ago, where multiple CB reset attempts started an in-flight fire which killed many people). I'd rather do a zero flaps landing than do multiple CB resets and risk an in-flight fire. If a zero flap landing is more risky than an in-flight fire, then there is a problem somewhere.
