Default RE: Bobcat elevator mix while landing

After the initial balloon at pattern speed the model will pitch its nose down if you do not add the up elevator to the mix.
I had a P-70 in my Bobcat and found that 3/8"-1/2" up aileron was plenty to slow the model.
I was able to operate off a 450 foot asphalt runway with ease with the Bobcat.

I will slow down more and I'm sure that will help. But the point about adding UP when you drop flaps with or without crow is what does not make sence. If flaps make the plane climb why would you want to add more up elevator in the mix? Sounds to me like it should be DOWN. Thanks for all the input!!
