Default Flaps 40 Degrees

Used to have a 172A before I bought the Bonanza. It was an OK plane, but
I really loved the 40 degrees of manual (johnson bar) flaps. No flaps to full
flaps and back in just few seconds. The N model has electric flaps, doesn't
it? That would kinda take some of the fun out of it.

The only comment I have is to watch your flap setting in relation to
density altitude. I remember getting suprised once at Tahoe. The plane
was not going to go around with 40, or even 30 degrees of flaps. I couldn't
even get it to maintain level flight.
