Some will suggest feeling for the aerodynamic neutral-force point with the
flap handle. The idea is that the lowest drag configuration is with the
flaps in trail. I think I remember reading that minimum drag is slightly
positive from the neutral force point.

I'm pretty sure this applies only to the classical airfoils FX67-x and
FX62-x.
The ASW-27 definitely needs a strong push into the optimum negative
value, and even the older ASW-22 has a pretty non-intuitive
flap-handle force curve.
