As soon as you let go of the button you will get the message "flaps neutral", they are not in neutral at that point, they are in the position you left them in when you let go of the button, it just means you stopped spinning the wheel.
The same functionality goes for the water radiator in a 109, which is controled by a spinning handle.
The devs modeled it that way to simulate you actually having to spin something to alter a control surface as compared to just flipping a switch like you do in a Spitfire.

You know, I think I read about this some time ago in another thread, but forgot about it, until you mentioned it above. I'll try again tonight.

Thanks for the response,
