Go use a long runway and try a no flap takeoff. You will notice a huge difference. If you haven't done this it is a good training exercise. I'm told to use 20 degrees flaps on takeoff, and you measure that by moving the stick to hold the left aileron to full down deflection. The flap will line up with the aileron at 20 degrees.

Also try a no flap landing on a long runway. You could be faced with the need to do that with hydraulic pressure loss.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I am wondering how many people use flaps on take off with the IVP? I was told to use about 15 degrees of flaps. I've also discovered that I don't like retracting the flaps unless the IAS is about 135knots IAS. No real reason other than I notice that you don't really feel the retraction as much as you do at the lower spee
So I guess I am wondering, if you only have a couple people on board (or even a full load with lots of runway), do you use flaps?
