hey dudeness, have you gone from being able to retract your flaps at 400 feet to not being able to retract them to 1500 feet or are you now re-planning all your flights with the flaps at take off from the start of the ground roll to the end of the landing roll.

now we're getting somewhere.

I think we have flaps so that in the event of a double engine failure you can put them up and down really fast and the aircraft gets pushed along by the thrust from the dolphin like movement.

Is anyone certain enough to take my bet yet?
