Flaps are IMHO just a different kind of trim - use them and be happy!
(Same goes for the other flapped ships i have flown - of which i only
rate the ASH25 as a glider that needs you to train a bit to uses it good
- DG500, ASW20 etc were all nice and easy to fly).

I'd agree that the '20 was fairly easy to fly, but there was still the
big gulp over the flap change midway through the ground roll and that
first flapped landing. Some previous flap experience in a dual would
have reduced the size of that gulp.

I certainly got launches and landings nailed quite a while before I
mastered the "always in the right flap without thinking about it" trick.
