It was recently suggested to me to try taking off with full flap; figuring that
the mono guys do this all the time, I gave it a go (having previously always
used around half flap). It seemed to lift the nose very much earlier and lift
off of it's own volition quite readily, whereas with half flap a pretty firm aft
input is required to rotate and lift off around 50kts.

What do you chaps tend to do? 

XS Trigear 912S CS prop, normally flown from grass around MTOW.
