Red Leader....I've not practiced in the light aircraft scene for some time now, but why would you contemplate landing flapless anyway? Perhaps I'm being dull, but the CL/alpha curves don't advise it regardless of any high wing/crosswind/yaw problems your aircraft may encounter.
I'm sorry mate, but it doesn't matter what flaps your ac has (fowlers, zap, etc...) if you're not going to use them what's the difference?? Just add the requisite ergs on to compensate for the lack of lift and accept that you'll land long!!!
