As far as i know flaps in the spitfire only have 2 positions, up or fully down, so they can only be used for landing.(as far as i know, this is just my 2 cents ) I have a copy of a spitfire manual that came with a game i bought for MSFS9, and for take off, flaps must be up.
But the question here is , when flaps are applied, what sould be the aircraft behavior,-nose up, or nose down- (no mather what for you are aplying flaps, or the amount). In this manual i have (from Just Flight), and it claims to be a copy from the original, it says: "change of trim... Flaps down ----- nose down", so i can understand if nose down is to be applied, putting the flaps down brings the spitfire nose up, and, in the case of our game (1946) the spitfire is correctly modeled.
