Dico,
 
Use flaps. For a 4 place single, the IV = comes off=20 the ground at a pretty fast speed. I see no reason to leave it on the = ground=20 another 10-15 knots which would be required without flaps (a lot more if = you=E2=80=99re=20 really heavy). You=E2=80=99ll save wear and tear on tires and the = airplane will perform=20 better in the initial climb. What advantage do you expect to see with no = flaps?

Hi=20 All,

I am wondering how many people use flaps on take off with = the=20 IVP?  I was told to use about 15 degrees of = flaps.    I've=20 also discovered that I don't like retracting the flaps unless the IAS is = about=20 135knots IAS.  No real reason other than I notice that you don't = really=20 feel the retraction as much as you do at the lower speeds.

So I = guess I=20 am wondering, if you only have a couple people on board (or even a full = load=20 with lots of runway), do you use flaps?
