>So, what is the best procedure for the go around?  Full 
throttle, then wheels up first or flaps up first?  Milk the flaps up and 
re-trim or just go to full up?  Should we stop the flaps at "out of reflex"

or continue up?  How about the dramatic pitch force changes?  Are you 
prepared for right rudder application? Any data out there?<

When a positive rate is established and not until then, I get the gear up. 
The flaps when extended are designed to increase the coeficient of lift and
add drag.  During a go around, the flaps should be positioned to a T/O flap
position which retains the high Coefficient but drops the high drag. 
Lancair 320/360 flaps mainly add drag.  My go around procedure goes
something like this: 
 
"Maximum Power Flaps up"
"Rotate 9 degrees"  I use AOA 
"Positive rate Gear Up"
"Execute the missed approach procedure"

I don't have a stop for T/O flaps so the flaps just move all the way to up
during the go.

The above gets me safely headed in the right direction during the go
around.  Of course, I fly the airplane (coordinate, trim, let the
government know what I'm doing and look for traffic)!  

Carl Scheid has developed lots of good data for the 320/360 and it is
printed in issue 35 of the Lancair Network News.   I concur with Scott that
during the go around, be prepared to add lots of right rudder to stay
coordinated.  It helps to slowly add the power and smoothly rotate.  As the
flaps are comming up and the aircraft is accellerating, forward trim will
be required.  This elevator trim input  takes the most finess for a smooth
go around.

This works for me but may not work for you.   We had a Lancair 320/360
pilot (non subscriber) loose his life during an attempted go around on his
first flight.  Witnesses (his wife included) reported engine problems and
loss of control followed by flight into the ground.  Practice at altitude
prior to trying the real thing near the ground.
