Garry,

I use full flaps(~45 deg) on 99 out of 100 landings.  They are very effective and permit steep approaches with excellent visibility over nose on final.  I would try to get as much deflection as possible.  It will buy you all kinds of versatility in the pattern.

Which actuation system do you have?  Is the kit a fast build?  The outback gear requires the that the flaps use a torque tube behind the rear spar. The standard gear uses all pushrods and bell cranks.  If you have the outback gear and a fast build kit, the clearance behind the rear spar may be less than ideal.  Have you been able to determine what is restricting your travel?
