My flapped experience is in a Laister Nugget. I loved the short and
steep approaches I could make in that ship.
The one thing that really helped me nail the flare and touchdown was to
take several pattern tows. I had been flying it for several months and
the landings were OK, but not as good as I wanted. My club required 3
"barrier landings" before going XC. This involves a couple folks
holding up a line with flags and a weak link on a couple long poles
stretched across the runway. One had to get stopped within 500' or so
three times in a row.
Anyway, I would suggest you take a few pattern tows and work on your
accuracy landing skills after you've had a few flights to familiarize
yourself in the ship. Making several landings in quick succession will
help you recognize and work on any problems you may have.
