Default Dead stick landings

Ok, I'm new, but have been flying sims for 25 yrs.. since I started flying real r/c birds, Ihave only had dead stick landings.. mostly hz super cubs and ultra micro p51.. but I have flown my big 91 4 stroke piper cub goldberg three times and this ancient .60 size bipe one time . again, all dead stick landings.. no probs yet all the gas landingshave been beautiful.. scary, but good., but I'm just wondering if I'll be able to actually land a bird with a running motor. Ha!
This goes back to my pc flight sim days when I was younger. I flew and landed flawlessly w/o instruction until I read instructions and started following them and using flaps. Took a while to learn that way. I want to avoid any accidents if possible so I thought I'd read any advice anyone has to offer.
Thanks!
