| Subject: | Re: Go-around Procedure Using RV-10 Flap Positioner |
I'm on a 2000' grass strip. I keep flaps down for loading, flaps up for startup,
taxi, and half flaps for take off. FPS works great, in my scenarios I never
need to manually stop the flaps.
If you have never taken off with half flaps, you need to try it. I think you'll
really like it.....

flaps down, to minimize damage from anything the prop may blow back onto the
flaps. At run-up, "set flaps" is on the check list.

going down to 200'AGL before going visual I fly about 95 KIAS or less (unless
the runway is really long) and one notch of flaps, and the jets just have to
wait. If it's under a mile visibility then I'll slow to 80 KIAS with 2 notches
of flaps and the jets really have to wait. If ceiling is 500 or more I'll do
120 KIAS and no flaps.

Bob, I like the flaps up at engine start then down before takeoff. I
have a good bit of debris along some of my taxi ways and I know I'll
regret not pulling them up for taxi. Thanks.
