On my relatively high powered Vans RV-9A , flaps are not a critical item, unless the runway is short. Taking off with full flaps makes the plane levitate off the runway at lower speed but does not create a hazard to flight. Even if the trim is mis-set, the plane is readily controlled.

1) High Roundout Sometimes when the airplane appears to temporarily stop moving downward, the roundout has been made too rapidly and the airplane is flying level, too high above the runway. This would result in the airplane stalling and dropping hard onto the runway. This climbing during the roundout is known as ballooning.

His skills were excellent, and his anticipation was admirable.
