Default Deployed flaps plane stalled and crashed

Yesterday I totaled my 60 powered plane. I never used flaps before and approached for a landing at about 1/4 throttle, I deployed the flaps and plane seemed intantly nosed up and stall, I hit the throttle and tried to abort but she just kinda fell straight out of the sky I had no control it just quit flying and rocked back and forth a couple times before it planted nose first.
I need a quite a bit more flying experience before ever trying that again, not sure i want to rebuid this one or any other plane with flaps!
