Yes, yes, yes. He did mention flaps, but as UH mentioned, on the East

Do you really need a hacksaw, or can you just add a "dummy" lever on
the left side of the cockpit, in order to give the left hand something
to do during flight?

I think you and UH see flaps as just a go fast option, for a lot of us,
flaps are for going slow when we're trying to land in little dinky fields...
