Practice forced approaches from downwind with 40 flap on final in a Cessna is not far off from using landing flap in a 20C (or B) or 27.

54 kts with 40 flap might be a bit slow in a Cessna though, but works beautifully in the 27 with landing flap. In fact you still need considerable spoilers to get through ground effect.
