1) Yes, super simple to put flaps on the throttle stick with elevator compensation. Just follow the tutorial step by step. Super simple. Not sure about trimming flaps with the throttle trim tab. Never bothered to check as there is a dedicated digital flap trim on the radio now. And no, no flipping switches is necessary to get into landing mode.
2) Yes, simple to program rudder->aileron mix. There is a dedicated mix for that. Dual rates are also simple.
3) Can't say about the battery pack. It was about like the 8103. In any case, I switched to a NoBS 2100mAh NiMh pack. Lasts two days of heavy flying.
4) Programming your Genie will be simple. No need for a user guide like Sherman's one for the 8103. Just crack open the manual that comes with the 9303, go through the step by step tutorial for setting up a sailplane and you'll get it. I programmed my Icon in about an hour.
It's a great radio. Be sure you get the sailplane version. Good Luck!

Guys. . .excuse my simple inquiry, but with all the frustrations I had with the 8103, I'm reluctant to take the plunge on the 9303. Nevertheless, I must do something pronto about a brand new Tx and have no time to read extensive manuals and fuss with elaborate programming.
Would those of you who have the 9303 that has ailerons and elevator on the right stick and throttle and rudder on the left, please tell me this:
Will it be a simple programming matter to operate the two flaps to full down on the throttle stick and have elevator compensation? Will the throttle trim tab then effect both flaps? Can I bypass flipping any switches?
Is it simple to get rudder mixed in with ailerons? Is it easy to program for Dual Rates on elevator and ailerons?
What kind of running time are you getting on the standard battery pack?
That's all I need to fly the Genie, the LT/S or the Genie Pro. The other things can come later. I have no time now to deal with them.
