No it does not drop when flaps deployed. In fact it balloons up. I can trim it fly straight with flaps retracted but I have to be flying fast. It is not what I expected. After practicing on Real Flight this thing was suppose to float through the air. I even read about others saying its a gentle airplane. Mine is not. It is a little heavier than manufacture spec'ed but I dont know if the weight they posted included the optional flaps.
Thanks for the tip about the trim guide. I did not know of this. I will try this. Same thing Charlie said.

The Real Flight model assumes a VERY light wing loading. I believe the simple Flyer Physics was not updated in 6.x and that the plane model itself is from the older 3.0 version... distributed as part of the free add-ons pack. The add-ons physics were NOT updated to 6.x levels.
That will make it more "floaty" in the later versions, than it should be.
Also on a plane like this with swept wings, once you go beyond a certain wing loading, it WILL snap on you or get "mushy".
It sounds like your plane was set up to go fast... something this model is designed for.
Either lighten it up ( a lot ), or fly it faster.
Increase the wing loading in the sim until the emulated plane reacts like yours.
