I think you'll find you have to keep some power on in the final approach with full flaps all the way down. The stall is gentle but you can see it sink fast if your behind it so be quick to add power if that's the case.
I had one bad landing the second time I tried the flaps because I couldn't read the stall coming on soon enough. Coupled with a TH servo issue not yet diagnosed I was reluctant to add power for fear of cartwheeling it in. So the best choice was to let it sink and keep it level.
Flies awesome though, crowd pleaser for sure
