You can fly the plane as you see fit. I usually use half flaps on take off.
That
is recommended in the Europa POH. I have made no flap take-offs, too. They
require a higher speed for lift-off. The plane accelerates a little faster
with the flaps up, but roles further to get up to lift-off speed.
I land with full flaps. I can't see the runway otherwise.

Good Day All,
I had a quick question......in spite of the fact that I'm still about a
year, or so, from flying. With the monowheel aircraft, the flaps are extended
with the same control that brings the main wheel and outriggers up and down.
On
a tri gear takeoff, do you extend your flaps since they are now independent?
Do you ever make flap up landings? Any big difference in the two approaches?
