>...................................., the "flaps" are next to useless, 

Actually, the flaps allow you to make your approach at a lower angle of attack,
allowing you to see the runway over the cowling.  While not serving as an air
brake as on the 150 or 172, the flaps greatly simplify landing the AA1, which
can be tricky if you're used to Cessnas.
