Sacha,
Flaps past 20 degrees for landing are uesless.
Full flaps 30 to 35 degrees are VERY usefull while taking off !
The real beneifit is to be found from sticky mud, long grass, sand, and
water while on wheels
on Skis -- heavy Wet Snow
On floats -- a real necessity -glassy water take offs --will pop you
right off the water
all the above - lifting one side up first and pulling the flaps for full
deployment.
Mind you alot have limited the flap travel and for most of you that are
pavement pounders
and do not explore the entire envelope of what your plane could actually
do it will be jusdt fine.
for the rest - 30 to 35 degree down travel a riot.........

Thanks for that Lowell - I thought I had installed something wrong.
Works fine with just 2 notches of flaps! I was trying full flaps with
(only a little) crosswind but it was definitely not easy to
control now I know!

I may have missed a lot of this conversation but on the model 4 we discussed many
years ago how pulling flap lever all the way up one may think that is full
flaps but in reality the full flap position is about half of that otherwise you
may experience a very irratic stall situation. Full up may give you a speed
break but definitely not the position to have it in for takeoff over obstical
or landing config short runway etc like in conventional aircraft. Jared
