Greetings Bill, I try to mix elevator to flaps so the model is neutral in all flaps positions. But it depend on fly speed. When you apply flaps (or butterfly), the model slows down and will pitch up. Even when you apply flaps slowly the model will pitch up some. But when the speed stabilizes the model wil be neutral. But I'm interested in others opinions too.
