Default RE: Flaps-switch or dial?

I use a 3-position switch for the flaps on my JR9303 and slow down the flap servos in the radio so they drop down slowly like those on the full size. Flaps make landing so much easier and more enjoyable. I will never ever land a warbird again without using flaps. Landing a 20-30# warbird without using flaps is asking for trouble.

Some landing videos with full flaps:
