Andreas,

Without wanting to prolong the argument
There appear to be two ways of achieving the same objective,
pilots should just chose the one they are happy with.
I trust the John Delafield theory and find it works,
others prefer yours and Berts

I don't see why I should use negativ flaps to pull
up.

Yup. Always keep the AoA constant by using the flaps.
I think the procedure that is described in the ASW-20's
manual
describes the physics very well.
