It depends. Do you have a receiver that has an input for flaps or are you planning to use an AUX channel?

I'm pretty sure that you have to go into the settings and enable them by setting the amount of flap (%) you want once you hit the switch (and any elevator adjustment if you want that also).
It's in the manual isn't it? (not read mine that heavily for planes)

There is no "flaps" channel on any receiver. You either use two ailerons in seperate jacks and they work as flaperons or you use dedicated flaps in the Gear or one of the Auxiliary jacks.

Note it can't be done if you use a "Y"for two servos or only have one aileron servo.

On the Model list go to the Flaps selection and assign how much elevator you want to add in. You have to set the switch to the LAND" choice (landing) and enter how much elevator you want. Try no more than 5% at a time.

It's page 15 of the manual.

I do think you have to take it OFF inhibit or 'INH' on the screen first, then it's a matter of setting the overall level you want them to come down with the percentage.
You can also add some elevator trim mixing too

I'm with you on this one. I like to fly without mixes, like manually using rudder to coordinate turns, or knowing how to usejust the right amount of down elevator when I deploy flaps. Iuse dual rates but don't like expo. To each his own Iguess.
