If you haven't tried a SSE with flaps you don't know what you are missing. IMHO flaps turns this great aircraft into a spectacular one.
Slow flight is can beridiculously slow, very steep STOL-type landings are a blast and a little bit of crow mixing makes harriers a piece of cake.
As an old time C/L stunt flier I enjoy emulating the F2B stunt pattern with my SSE, the maneuvers are a little bit bigger, but the SSE corners really well with flap elevator coupling.
Try flaps, I can almost guarantee you will like it! I have flown SSE's with and without flap servos in the wings and the difference in roll performance is minimal. With a computer radio it is easy to couple flaps and ailerons to work together as big ailerons.
Without a doubt, the flap equipped SSE is my all time favourite aircraft.

That's one sweet looking SSE! I'm sure there's another one in my not so distant future - it will definitely have a set of flaps on her.
