Just remember that with flaps or without flaps..altitude on approach is controlled by the throttle and speed is controlled by the elevator......with that said get a good flyer to stand on the spot with you....shoot several approaches without flaps...if you like the way the plane handles without flaps fly it that way.....add the flaps later when you are used to the aiplane.
Just because you have flaps doesn't mean you have to use them.....I bearly use flaps on my P-47, and make real nice landings...
Good Luck
