Same here. I like lifting them during roll out to keep the nose up longer. See no need to put them down again. If I didn't trust a passenger enough not to step on them, they wouldn't be invited in for the ride.

Your comment about lifting the flaps during roll out to keep the nose up longer got my attention. While flying today, I did a few landings, and on two of them, tried retracting the flaps on roll out, and noticed basically zero difference. On my RV-9A, I can hold the nose off the ground until about 33 knots, with the flaps down. On the two landings with the flaps raised on rollout, the nose was able to be held up until 32 and 34 knots.
What has your experience been for you to conclude that by lifting the flaps on roll out, the nose stays up longer?
Conventional flying wisdom says don't touch anything on the runway...
