setting second stage of flap (25 deg) in the Auster when the tail was up would pop her into the air.
LowNSlow,

Its a very long time since I've flown an Auster but the thought of trying to change the flap setting during the take off run amazes me. I seem to remember that it took both hands and teeth just to pull the handle out so that you could move it.
