I did a search and found more info on using flaps for take-off than landing. Does everybody use full flaps on landing all the time? I used to like landing my Cherokee with 2 notches rather than full, it just worked better for me. Years ago I rarely used flaps when wheel landing the Citabria.
Yesterday I took my 6 up to 4k and pulled the throttle to idle deployed full flaps and tried to stall without drasticaly raising the nose and it just kept flying at 40 mph. Might be why it wheel lands better with one on board and 3 points better with 2.
