Piperboy84 technique of bouncing the aircraft into the air with flap just before rotation DOES work.
I have never heard using full flap though, but as I've previously said, I have no experience on Maule's
I probably did not make this clear, I do not use
full flaps on the video, My flaps are as follows
1st Notch= -7 deg for Cruise.
2nd Notch = 0 deg (Neutral)
3rd Notch= 24 deg for Take off
4th Notch= 40 Deg = landing (base turn)
5th Notch= 48 deg= landing (short final)
I start the initial roll with TO flaps (24) then just prior to lift of I pull on 40 deg, but do not release my thumb pressure on the flap button and just hold in the 40 deg till clear then slowly reduce back to the 24 deg notch, from watching the video I believe i relaxed the flap handle back from 40 to 24 to early and also did not lower the nose quickly enough to stay in ground effect to allow speed to build, and that is why i think i got the drop.
Better luck next time.
(An afterthought edit)
BPF’s point about having a predetermined fixed decision/distance marker for attaining
full lift of speed is noted, I was using about 200 feet of a 1600 feet strip and predetermined that if I had not reached 70% of my TO speed by 50% of the strip I would abort, however I did not give equal
prior consideration to where my abort point was if after attaining 70% no further speed was forthcoming, and I suppose I left that up to deciding on the fly which is probably not the best way to go.
Live and learn.
