Small plane makes emergency landing, flips over in Australia (video)

Looks like he did well with that dead stick...maybe a little too much energy but hey, he walked away!
 
I don’t see flaps. Should he be using flaps? And crabbing? But fantastic walk away

I’m new here so go easy on me…
 
Welcome to PoA! Flaps would be my thought also, once he had the field made and add forward slip as needed, but the guy did well to find hospitable terrain for a landing. Anything else would be icing on the cake. CFI's should be along shortly to critique.
 
It appeared he flew through a large thermal while gliding over the trees, and it interrupted the planned descent profile.

But because he wasn't injured, it was a successful landing, which is good.
