My first instructor had me landing NO Flaps. His thoughts were that many of the planes I could end up flying won't have flaps so learn how to handle that first. He was right, many of the things I fly have none. The Piper Colt, J3, 7AC Champ, Luscomb, Baby Great Lakes, and the time when the Cardinal II flaps wouldn't extend because the switch failed. FWD slip works fine.

Mark..Your instructor did a good job teaching you to land with no flaps , my next homebuilt the Cygnet has no flaps. My piper Vagabond didnt either.Just use watcha got. When I checked out new CFI s at the FBO that I worked at I always had them land with airspeed covered up.No problem if you know how to fly.
