Default Does Flap Application Cause a Pitch Down?
I've never noticed this on RC planes, but I've never flown any with flaps, either. Someone made a comment on another forum that full-size planes actually pitch down with the initial application of flaps. Reportedly, this is due to the center of pressure moving aft when the flaps are dropped. Does this happen in RC aircraft with flaps?
