Does Van recommend using half flaps for takeoff?
The POH gives conflicting information.
On page 7-6 of the POH it says,
"BEFORE TAKEOFF" "Flaps ? SET for takeoff 1st DETENT"
Then on the next page 7-7 is says,
"TAKE-OFF (Normal)" "Flaps ? UP"
I do not know why one would set half flaps before takeoff, but then retract them as you start rolling.
If Scott reads this, perhaps he will clear this up.
