Default RE: Flaperons on GP Slow Poke .40

Ok now I am a bit confused again. Since the plane has a short coupled airframe and a wide cord the flaps were overpowering the elevator, essentially working opposite of what they should. I thought I understood that if I deflected the flaps up on the outbound portion of the wing it would essentially add "Wash Out" to the wing. reducing the possibility of tip stalling. Therefore you could increase the AOA. Where did I go wrong reading the posts? Feel free to educate me as now I am lost.
