They are slippery airplanes, hard to slow once you nose it over, so keep that in mind. The flaps are there, but don't do much. It's a good airplane to learn taildragger too, not quite as forgiving as some others, which IMO is good. The taildragger teaches you to land on the center of the runway, with no drift, aligned with the runway. Many people "get away" with not doing this with tricycle and it doesn't come back to bite them, but with a taildragger, it can and it does. As long as you respect it, you are usually fine. There should be MoGas STCs available too. As mentioned above, it's a low-altitude/cool-day airplane, keep it light and don't push it.
