Not according to the manual.

Your manual doesn't say anything about flaps for any takeoff. Nor does
it say anything about any surface othr than a hard surface runway.
Other publications do. I'm sure you're familiar with Eckalbar's book.
The answers and more math than you can handle will spell it all out in
there. Even with out going to the book it doesn't take a rocket
scientist to tell a takeoff with flaps is much shorter.
