Done it a few times in the sim. As skiesfull mentions, clean up is a interesting as when flaps are up you lose outboard ailerons and therefore full roll authority. We found it better to get some speed before going F up.

But when you're clean and at a decent climb speed (300 kts works) you will be able to climb (allbeit not very quickly).

Overall it handles quite well, not too dissimilar to a twin on one, but less performance and the go around scenario is a bit more complex.

Edited for spelling
