When Flaps are lowered, nose of model will rise. The nose-up varies with the speed at which the model is flying when you lower the flaps and the extent to which they are lowered. Check effect of flaps at higher altitude to avoid surprises during landing. You may apply down trim of the elevator to compensate for the nose-up effect when lowering the flaps.
