Default Flaps!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US">Hi all, I have the GPCherokee ARF that comes with flaps, and even when Iset the plane with functional flaps since the beginning, Ihave never used them for only one reason... IDON'T KNOWHOWTODOIT!!!!
Iknow that flaps suppose to make landings slower, but when should Ideploy them? When making the last turning before the approach? Just a few feet before touching ground? Besides that, at what speed should Itouch ground? Imean, when not using flaps, Ijust cut throttle and let the plane go down, but a guy at the field told me that with flaps Isuppose to approach faster, that doesn't make sense to me, but Iactually don't know how to do it...
Any advice? Thanks!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US"><o></o></span></p>
