Ah, that makes more sense now, thanks for the heads up on the Maule
flap settings.
When I read your earlier post, which has now changed to post #13,
I saw reference to 40 degrees/ landing flap and took this as full flap,
my apologies. The variants that I fly, both single and twin are 40 degrees = full flap.
I would never initiate the pulling flap at rotation discussion on here, in fear of getting flamed out, but it does work, and should be demonstrated by an experienced competent pilot, as it was to us.
One other thing, don't rely upon luck!
You and many others have now seen what could have happened. Go and practice releasing the 4th notch and holding ground effect. You will be surprised the more you practice, the luckier you will get!
Safe and happy flying.
