Default Flaps on take-off and landing

The Super Decathlon I flew for aerobatic lessons (a taildragger) has
excellent over the nose visibility on the ground...better than my tripacer.
I had a hard time levelling out at altitude because the view was almost too
good. I kept unconsciously trying to get the same sight picture I was used
to in my TP.

True for tail draggers, but in a tricycle gear aircraft you have an
excellent view of the runway.
