Have a look at this picture.
Note the canard versus the elevons..
OK, this is a computer controlled full-size, but elements are to be copied on our models..
To set the AOA much higher than it`s supposed to be, is a nono to me.
A easier way to solve the problem, OK, but i think there are other ways to go too.

What's happening here is the elevons are increasing the camber on the wing providing more lift for a slower landing speed. The canards are then countering the increased nose-down pitching force. The end result is much slower landings.
