You are not supposed to take off with flaps up? Thats news to me.

Sorry, I left the statement incomplete. I presumed understanding of the
conversation in context on the part of readers. My mistake, apparently. To
be totally accurate, politically correct, and free of liability, I suppose
my statement should have read "You're not supposed to take off with flaps
up in most large turbojet or turboprop powered transport aircraft, or in
many transport or non-transport aircraft of any power type, or in any other
size or type of aircraft where trailing edge flaps are installed and where a
prohibition against such operating configuration is contained in the POH,
Operating Certificate, or other applicable documentation." Does that help
to clarify things?
