Take off your shoes so you can make it to 20!!!!
Algo: Try starting your takeoff roll with 40 degrees of flaps to lift the tail then down to 10 for the run... Lift the tail when loaded without even moving sometimes

That is a good plan in any case...figuring out what works best in YOUR plane.
Im not sure what's covered in the flight manual for these airplane's, but one is required at least for certain serial numbers....here's the citation from the TC:
A-759NOTE 12.
Effective March 1, 1979, each Model 7ECA, 7GCAA, and 7GCBC airplane contains as FAAApproved Airplane Flight Manual which is part of the required equipment. The AFM mustremain in the airplane during aircraft operations.
Airplane Flight Manuals are required for the following airplanes:
Model7ECA7GCAA7GCBC
Beginning Serial Number1295-79
378-79
1108-79 Only
1110-79
Any 7GCBC retrofit with 7-1545 wings
Might check to see if yours is covered, just to be totally kosher.

LOL. Mine is a 1965 model, made by the old Champion Aircraft (not the current American Champion Aircraft, not even the Bellanca company that owned the TC for a number of years). My serial number is 3 digits — not covered...
CA didn't even publish an operator's guide, much less a POH or AFM... That little 4" square piece of paper with the label "Operating Limitations" is pretty much it! I'm going to have to develop my own performance charts, since Bellanca and ACA used different landing gear, fuel tanks, engines, etc. than mine does. But heck, that just means more flying for me...
