Default Flaps on take-off and landing

knot winds
prevail from evening till morning while morning will have around 10
knot winds at 040, while the afternoon will have 15-ish gusting to
30-ish at 030 to 050, so having flaps down on the ground is a negative
because I've seen airplanes start flying halfway through their roll-out
after landing.


The Cardinal will not fly at gusts of 30 knots - no matter whether the
flaps are down or not.

Yes, but it will fly if your rolling along at 35 KIAS and a 25+ KIAS
knot gust hits you, anyway it wasn't the Cardinal I saw do it, it was a
piper cub, and yes I realize the chances of me doing that are slim, but
I don't want to be the example/statistic.
