Hi. I had the same problem with my Piper Cherokee six.
I remembered something a pilot buddy of mine said who flew these.
Sometimes, on high loads, he'd takeoff with full flaps. On FS, there's only 2 settings. APPR and Dwn.
So, I took off with full flaps. No more penalty.
Also, I think you can get this if you bring the flaps out too quick.
Am anxious to test this theory on the AN-124, which requires a 2nd and 3rd notch of flaps just before liftoff.
Too much drag with full flaps. Speed first, then flaps.
