FWIW, I always take off with zero flaps. Once you have flown some hours on
yours, you will find what works best for you.
BTW, I also have manual flaps very similar to a Piper Cherokee.

I have two partners in our plane and we are hangared on a grass field. I
usually take off with one notch of flaps if anyone more than myself. It
seems to get me in ground effect quicker.

Perfect info. Thanks everybody.
I sent my engine out to be rebuilt (basically sat for 7-8-years) and should
get it back by Christmas. Finishing up rebuilding the doors. Next is
rigging the flight controls (hence the questions). I hope to be flying by
late spring! Check out the KIS FaceBook page for pics and status.

The few times I have taken off from grass, I also used 1 notch (12 degrees)
of flaps to get into ground effect quicker.
