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.........

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!

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.
