Are you saying you use 5-10 of flaps for take-off ?
Mine stays on the ground for ages if I forget (!) to put
the flaps down !
I use 15 degrees on tarmac and 19 on grass.
With a 10 knot headwind I am off in 250 yards on tarmac
and 350 yards on grass (if it isn't too bumpy which messes
up the aerodynamics), Density altitude is normally about
300 feet though.
