Your exactly right regarding missed approaches using flaps. This is a prime case even in general aviation regarding flaps. Once flaps are deployed the stall speed decreases and once they are retracted, well ya know, there you are!! Great point and hopefully no accidents with this little pilot error.[&o]

easton24, one thing to remember about the flaps. When you are landing with the flaps down and you have to do a missed approach, don't raise the flaps until you add some throttle for the go around and altitude, then raise the flaps. I almost learned this the hard way with a .40 size super chipmunk. I was about 2 feet above the runway when I needed to go back around so, I raised my flaps and landed the plane in the tall grass at the end of the strip! Just remember add throttle, pull in to a gentle climb, then when you have good altitude raise the flaps. Hope this helps
