One of the advantages of flying a Maule is that no CFI criticizes you for raising
the flaps on the runway.

Hmm, what's wrong with flaps up on the runway? That's the way I was
taught to land a Cessna 172, touch down, flaps up. I can see how it
might make for the possibility of retracting the gear instead of the
flaps if you have retractible gear and the levers are both located
near each other, but fixed gear? What could be the harm?
