flaps don't make an airframe "floaty". Flaps add "drag".
Exactly. The problem is the flaps on the CMP Hellcat are tiny and don't add very much drag. I too find the plane a little on the "floaty" side. Instead of sinking down onto the runway, she tends to float forever. Bigger flaps would alleviate or eliminate that problem.
