Actually the flaps are a huge problem on the CR2. I don't think the JungleJet or the bigger Canadian Specials have that problem.

The CR2 flaps are driven by two electric motors that sit in the main landing gear bays. They drive "flex shafts" which drive the individual flaps on each side down. There are about a hundred things that can go wrong with the system and if any of them do, it freezes the flaps right there.
