Narrative:
Prior to departure we noted that the flaps did not extend properly; the #2 leading edge remained in transit. This was confirmed with the flap indicator; and the amber light on the overhead panel. We returned to the gate. Maintenance addressed the issue; an MEL was added for the appropriate situation. Upon rotation to departure pitch attitude; we encountered stick shaker; and pitch limit bars at 12-15 ft. I reduced the pitch-attitude and flew out of the situation. At the following station we wrote up the departure scenario. Maintenance pulled and collared the P-18; D7 circuit breaker. Make sure maintenance completes their required procedures prior to releasing the aircraft to fly.
