Default Slotted flaps help?

I've got a dV8r jet that's ready to fly but was wondering about changing the flap setup. Right now the flaps are huge and simply hinged at the bottom of the wing for max deflection. Seems most of these models experience porposing when full flaps are deployed. The smallest correction makes the jet start to bob until it turns into a lawn dart. Not good, like to avoid that. I was wonder if the flaps are blocking the horizontal stab? Would slotted flaps allow some smooth air to flow over the stab and correct the problem?


Thanks,
Shaun
