I also concur that I have had more trouble with brakes - particularly
the ill-conceived heel brakes that are clearly the work of Satan - and a CG hook during cross-wind aerotows than I ever had with flaps. (I do love my stick-mounted hydraulic disk brake!) My first glider was a flapped Jantar-1 and I have a bunch of time in an ASW-20. Flaps are a little more complicated, but give you more landing control and more performance for your money. Unless you're a complete doofus, you should manage the transition to flaps without any problems. Just read the manual, listen to your instructor and practice. Your big kahunas sound like a bunch of old women! Mike Discus 2 WA
