Default Ultimate 40S Flight Question, First Time Flyer

Hello All, I've been reading so much great information on this model from experienced flyers my question is when your comming in on your final desent, is this a plane you can cut the throttle to idle and continue at a steady air speed as you approach the ground. Is this a plane that requires more of a fly to land with less glide? I know It's kind-of a tuff question but hopefully some of you will understand what I'm talking about. I fly several war-birds, you can see my gallery. Most of them require 1/3 throttle to idle when landing without cart-wheeling the landing. This will be a first time for me flying an ultimate 40 the warbirds I fly have much larger wing area. So if you have any general guide lines for me I'd appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time.
