Hi all,
This is a question that can only be answered by a careful,
thoughtful test program. No one offs, please.
In old flapped Pipers, it is a common trick to suddenly pull
flaps to half or full when nearing Vr. One jumps off the ground
with little deceleration. It is a cowboy stunt. A moment of
wind shift or inattention and you are back on the ground - hard.
In a trigear like mine, this is a useless
thought since the flap motor is so slow.
Down here in Georgia where my field
is often at 3,000 - 3,500 density and 2400
in length, I usually use 5-10 of flaps but it is hard to see much difference.

Hi Steve!
What's a "strut", if not a structural member between
a wing and a fuselage?

Since the OP is in New Jersey, it is important to point
out that experimental home built aircraft are generally
not legal for primary instruction since they may not
be used either for hire, or for commercial purposes, i.e,
for paying a flight instructor. If the CFI volunteers for
the kids, it may be a different story.
At my field, the Candler Field Museum at GA2, we teach kids to
work on classic and antique aircraft and they earn an hour of flight
instruction for ten hours of work, but they fly a certificated
Cub they reconstructed under A&P supervision. Three of our kids
have already soloed in it.
Under no circumstance would I attempt primary instruction in a
Europa mono wheel. If you are lucky not to wreck it, you will
still scare the kids to death.
