Pulsar flaps seem to provide drag, but not much lift.

I normally take off without any flap. There doesn't appear to be much benefit when 20 deg flaps are used and the extra drag on climb out is noticeable. I wonder what all you Pulsators think.

Do you use flap on take off or not? If you do, what merits or otherwise would you cite?

Seasonal felicitations to you all, may 2014 bring sunny skies and light winds.
Rob.
