PB84
I am not sure what the Maule techniques are, as I have never flown one, but pulling 40 degrees of landing flap immediately during rotation just doesn't sound right!
(I may be wrong, off course!)
The only time that I have played around with flaps during the t/o roll, is commencing with 0 degrees (no drag) and then pulling 15 degrees (t/o setting) just prior to rotation, to lift her off, BUT, then holding her in ground effect to build the speed
up, prior to climb out.
As Mad Jock says - I would be interested to learn what Pilot DAR says.....
