Default RE: Flaps or flaperons?

Well, it could be many reasons, but my vision is like this:

The Cub behaves as it behaves; oftenI plan to land in the start of the airstrip, but the plane almost lands on the end of the strip. The plane is landing quit fast, to be a high winged plane.I just have to accept it. I watched a youtube-video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV3VE-n-ky0 andthis Cub hasthe same behaviour

I had a pattern airplane (meteor) with a thicker, symmetrical wing profile, and it was much easier to land, landing slower than the cub.

But a low pitched prop and flaperons could help me get the Cub landing slower.. And of course I will test many other advices Ive got in this thread.
