Forktail Dr Killer is this your new persona, what happened to ForktailDrKiller ?? BTW I love the nic.

No could have been Peter Taylor, Keith Patterson or Big Bob Douglas.

I had you picked as a conservative pilot. which is why the "imposter" tag.

My recollection is that full flap is mostly drag, perhaps you meant to say that by the time the flap extended through 10-20 degrees on the way to full from 50 KIAS you were already on the way.

IMHO a go around from full flap needs to be handled very carefully, a startled gazelle she is not, huge trim changes, a bit squirelly (more or less depending on C of G) while the flaps coming in and an RM Williams full of rudder. IFR or VFR at night in the bush on the dials pronto and sweat it out until stabilised. Girls need not apply.
