Hey SFCC whats with all this venom ?
cpl4hire is talking utter bohoolicks. Just like most other people that have never spent enough time reading their books.
I was only trying to help the guy by suggesting he gets the aircraft cruising in the right attitude (i.e. not slightly tail down) and increasing the power slightly to 2300 RPM.
This was something he could (and did try) on his next outing (with good results).

On the matter of C150 Go Around with 40 degrees of Flap. Yes, it is possible to climb away but the resultant rate of climb is truly pathetic and when I did it as a Rookie one hot summers day I was only able to get away with it by flying between two trees on the extended Runway centreline!
I note Pilot DAR (who also slagged my suggestion for gettiing the most out of the Aircraft in cruise) did at least one of his 40 deg flap go arounds in the winter.

Regards,

CPL4hire
