Full flap ILS

My argument against full flap ILS is that that less initial climb
performance would be available during miss approach. I feel the time
required to retract full flap to approach flap then to no flap would
significantly reduce your climb gradient
The aircraft had to demonstrate during certification a reasonable
climb rate either with the flaps down or where they will be in
short order if the retract is commanded on the go around. I can't
believe it makes much of a difference in the BO, they don't that
long to come up after the pilot hits both the gear and flap switches.
The argument I could give for using less than full flaps in my plane
(admittedly not a bonzana), is that she wallows around a bit in
gusty conditions with it all hanging out.
