Narrative:

Just before takeoff we noticed a leading edge device disagreement light. The intent was to cycle the flaps. As they were going up, we were cleared for takeoff. Captain called for before takeoff checks. I failed to put the flaps back down (didn't wait for flaps to have gone full up before starting checklist). Rolling takeoff -- horn sounded. Low speed (40 KTS?) rejected takeoff, cleared runway. Lowered flaps, completed checklists and took off. Bad timing as we were cleared for takeoff just as we were raising the flaps. We anticipated this would correct the situation. As #1, you are always geared to go. We should have told tower to standby for 30 seconds due to a minor problem.
