I edited my original post to correct spelling and some things. It was late when I posted. Sorry.
I do see where one can switch gear instead of flaps. My flaps are on slider, not switch. (JR11x) that makes it easier to differentiate.

Now. Two more things: are you using expo on your controls? Maybe not enough? P51 and Jug both have factory throws and 35% expo with full throws. Than 30 and 25% respectively for lower throws

Two: is your gear set with toe in, out or neutral? I try to set it neutral. Too much toe in can cause drag and nose overs.
