I was type converted by Andy Draper who was chief pilot at Europa before he
joined
theLAA engineering dept.
I taught me and demoed take of in a tri gear at 18 degrees, he did at the time
remark that it is laa mono possible to climb out at full flap, but there must
be a reason for the 18 degrees? It works well for me fwiw
I must remark that a couple of hours flying with Andy is so enlightening......

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.
