I use 20 dog and maintain little back pressure to keep nose light. Lifts off 
smooth.
Haven't found much advantage in using full flap.

the mono guys do this all the time, I gave it a go (having previously always
used around half flap). It seemed to lift the nose very much earlier and lift
off of it's own volition quite readily, whereas with half flap a pretty firm
aft input is required to rotate and lift off around 50kts.
