Default Single sharpie mark at the down aileron

1. Normal approach, To the mark at the numbers, full flap when field made
2. Wheel landings to the mark
3. Soft field take-off to the mark

Seems to work and simple

I think my marks are at 10 and 20 (30 being full, so no mark needed)
they are just printed black label strips about 8" long each, and since rarely in the weather, have lasted 8 years outdoors with no ill effect.
For what it's worth, full down aileron, about 15 degrees, is widely considered to be max lift flap setting, should you want to show that as takeoff flap setting.

I had these decals printed by the local graphics shop. They work well and give a little anticipation approaching 20?.

The RV-4, -6, and probably others are approved for 110 mph for up to 20º flaps.
