Richard ... I will try more flaps and see what happens. I think I am giving it about 30 degrees or so only.
Yes, try at least 40 degrees. You will notice a huge difference. You basically alter the airfoil of the wing center section with the flaps down, giving the wing more camber and thus more lift. This, in effect, will reduce tip stall also since the center section will stall first before the wingtips.
