Don't know what you mean by "flaps out" hans brinker. If you mean the flaps were 'down', they were not. The flaps were up. If they were down, the MCAS would not have activated.
Yes, I should have said down, but was a direct reply to someone suggesting he would have left the flaps F1 in this situation, and seeing as we are up to 3000+ post already I would suggest you read before you post, so we don't get endless back and forth like this.
