Todd:

Agreed. The method I describe allows you to start with SW C Up (Flaps Up), move to centre for Takeoff Flap, Move back Up for normal flight, Move to Centre for Takeoff Flap (Slowdown) and then to Down for Full Flap. (One has to transition from flaps Up through the intermediate position to Full Flap with a 3 - pos SW. It's just a matter of how long you leave it there!).
