Well also I agree with flaps up, then power, once came acrouse a few that taught power then flaps, their reasoning was that it gives students good attitude control, ie full power, get airborne with flaps down then retract in stages flying level along the runway, but personally I think its not the way to go because;
1. as others mentioned, don't want to be hurtling down the runway or airborne and reaching down for an alledged flap handle
2. The aircraft could sink back onto the runway,
3. The aircraft will start wheelbarrowing at worst losing control, or get airborne at very low airspeed
4. In a twin it will be airborne probably below Vmca, and if you lose one theres not many options at such a low speed
Anyway thats my 2 cents worth, or 0.8p worth!
