Picked up my plane from the A&P after addressing the squawk list and flew it home this morning. Full flaps on landing as usual. As I was taxiing to the hangar I moved the flap lever up but nothing happened. I looked over and noticed the CB popped, so I pushed it in and tried the flaps again. This time I smelled a tiny bit of smoke so I put the lever back down and parked it. Is this what happens when the flap motors fails? Or is something else amiss? I'm having some serious luck with this plane....
