'Also,flaps 1-10 will provide NO increase in drag,only lift.It,s in the charts and the FCTM'

Yeah right that's why we hold at minimum clean and even Flap 1 increases Fuel Flow by 10%. (Boeing FCTM)

Only fly NG's now so nowhere near flap limit at 220kts.Apart from anything else you can feel the drag everytime the flaps extend.
