RE: Flaps vs. Flaperons
You might want to change the landing approach. Rather than a long straight letdown perhaps a fairly level, tight, circling letdown would work and you roll level just prior to touchdown. Kinda reminds me of the Cosair landing on a carrier in WWII. The disadvantage is that the timing of the maneuver might be beyond your skills at present.
I do a similiar maneuver with some very slow fliers (5 ounces or less) in the street in front of my house but they are very slow and don't have much effect on the environment (houses, pocket book, etc) if I mess up.
