Just out of interest, what rate of climb did you get after that 40 flap takeoff?
Though the objective was not the demonstration of a particular rate of climb, my qualitative answer would be about two thirds of what I would normally expect to see, in terms of altitude over the far end of the runway. More to the point, the climb was always positive and steady (no settling afterward).
