I like starting the takeoff roll without flaps and then selecting 10° during the run. This reduces drag and gets you to speed faster.
All good fun (used it many times operating from 'questionable' strips) until only one side deploys and you're lying broken amongst hot metal and burning bumble bees!
Or one wheel falls off, or the engine blows up at 50ft, or a wing tank bursts into flames.
I use that no flaps till 40kts method. But my flaps are manual & a solid bar between them both.
