Narrative:
Was in pattern at H30 and radioed my intentions. Was on final when I selected full flaps. They didn't work and radio went dead. Side-slipped down and had a normal landing. I was taxiing slowly down the runway when a line manager came out running, waving arms. He circled right arm franticly, then shot them toward the sky. It was clear he wanted me out of there fast. I took off and went around and checked out the situation, then landed carefully and found out what happened. A cessna citation had to do a go around. Upon leaving, I tried to explain to the cessna citation pilot what happened, with no avail. He was angry. Even though he saw me and tried to query me in the air, before all this happened. I realize now that upon realizing the electrical failure, I should have gone around and checked out the traffic and landed safely without the radio. This would have prevented a lot of problems.
