Best to put flaps on a proportional channel, a dial or thumbwheel if your radio has it.  Our models are so lightly loaded, they pitch up with flaps if the plane isn't slowed enough. If psooible, mix in some down elevator with flaps also.</p>

"Too much would be like throwing out an anchor. Instant stall. "  Not necessarily, just have to practice slowing down. Going full flaps on final is OK as long as the speed is low and the nose is kept from pitching up. You may have to ADD power with full flaps, depending on the airplane.</p>
