Full Flap Go-Around

I regularly fly a very well maintained C150 Aerobat and I would not recommend anyone to attempt a go-around with full flap if it can possibly be avoided. With only 100 HP and the drag 40 degree flap generates climb is extremely limited. Wings level and land straight ahead would be my preference in almost every case. I have witnessed an unintentional attempt to go-around with full flap. The aircraft had to be flown level with incremental reduction of flap until sufficient airspeed to climb was attained. That was with about half full fuel tanks and two lightweight POB.
