Default RE: SIG Rascal 40 (forty) with flaps ?

I don't know if flaps will make it land any more quickly. It's just a lightly loaded wing with great lift characteristics. As long as you're not landing in a strong headwind, it comes in fine if you just set up yourglide slope with elevator and moderate power to control the sink rate. I actually like landing mine with a little power on, doesn't seem to bounce as much.

I also agree with vtx that the roll rate is rather slow. It takes practice to do a point roll (axial), but barrel rolls are easy and look great. One of my favorite planes to fly.
