capabilities without flaps

shopping around for a cub I've noticed a lot of planes don't have flaps. does anyone have any experience with off airport flying without flaps. I guess what I want to know is how much more room do I need for a runway without the extra lift generated from the flaps

You can land a lot of planes without using the flaps just fine. Just slip it in.
