Thanks, who. I'm not familiar with the Kolilber, but I did say
most types!
I once took off in a PA18 with full flaps, by mistake, and didn't even notice until I was off the ground - but then the flaps on the PA18 lower the stall speed by a full 2mph, so it's not surprising that they don't add too much drag. And the Europa monowheel always takes off with full flaps - but that's because the gear is directly linked to the flaps - if you lift the flaps, the gear comes up as well!
Since I made that post, I've flown a PA28 with an instructor (who I believe I mentioned on another unrelated thread) who likes me, when doing touch+goes, to take off before raising the flaps from the previous landing. I'm not happy with that technique, but I have to admit that, on a nice long runway, and when I've already got plenty of speed from the previous landing, the PA28 will quite happily get off the ground with full flap, even though it's not designed to. But then you wouldn't really expect anything nasty to happen in a PA28, would you?
