Depending on your radio, it may be possible to electronically program the knob to adjust the throws so that all the way in one direction is flaps up and all the way in the other direction is flaps down. Be aware that deploying flaps can cause a large pitch change on some models so it is usual to electronically mix in some elevator compensation with down flaps.
I'm currently using a Hitec Laser 6.

If I were to change to a different radio system what would you recommend?
*I like radios that allow you to change the tention on the sticks without the need of changing the springs.
