Default Flaps on take-off and landing

Granted, one can pull over and stop with an automobile; it's a little
more difficult in a light aircraft, but nowhere near as confining as
being trapped on a boat in high seas. However, unless you relish
being trapped in the quagmire of congestion on today's freeways,
aircraft are a far superior means of transportation for trips longer
than fifty miles or so.


How do you get to and from the airports? And if you don't own your
own plane, how do you fly somewhere for the weekend? Can you rent
planes in the same way you rent cars--complete with the option of
dropping the plane off at a different airport from the one where you
picked it up?
