<<I developed flap position selector system for my early 235 because I
didn't like the idea of getting a "go-around" call from the tower and having
to
visually check flap position during an extra busy time in the cockpit. With
the simple toggle switch controlling the flaps, stopping at neutral
without looking (or at night) was my main concern.>>

I had the same concern and since I like the Cessna method I copied it, with
a couple of modifications.  There is no switch on the panel, just a Bowden
cable to the flap actuator.  I can preselect any angle of flap, going down
or up.  No electronics involved, just a Bowden cable and 4 Microswitches.
