Default Using flaperons......need help

Mscic,

I don't want to start a fight or anything, and I will also say that I don't know a lot about the physics of flight. However, I can put the flaps down on my Uproar when it's at full throttle and it will still pitch down. Like I said before, it's a modified Uproar. I cut the last rib bay out of each panel. Now it has a 38" wingspan instead of a 48". Would this cause it to pitch down with flaps no matter what the speed is? Flaps are almost mandatory with this bird now, and it will slow down super slow with them. Dan
