Personally, I have gone back to power-off landings for just this
reason. And I try, not always successfully, to come in "high, hot, and
slipping like crazy" since I don't have the option of raising the
flaps.
And what happens when you eventually hit an updraft? If you're
already high, hot, and slipping like crazy, that updraft will put you
too high and hot to land, and you will need to go around.
You have obviously never slipped a Cub. An updraft that can keep a Cub from
making the numbers has not been invented. My wife came in over the numbers
at pattern altitude and we were down and stopped on the first third of a
3,000 foot runway. Gotta love a plane with a real rudder.
