Well, ultimately you will get the best rate of climb clean after you
have reached best limb speed, of course, but it's not al that
significant at the
begining unless you have a big obstacle problem off in the distance,
so you're right, best flap position is usually around 20 or 15 or
whatever is handy!

An old rule-of-thumb I remember has it that aligning the flap with a
down aileron gives you the best (most lift) flap position (assuming, i
presume, that the ailerons deflect to maximum effectiveness=lift)


Never heard it but it sounds like a good bush piloty sort of thing to do.
