I just recieved a Midwest AT-6 kit. Just curious about how the flap are working out. I assume it is a split flap

I have this aircraft and constructed scale split flaps and she lands just like the real one.. I find it a trainer and I am not an ace RC pilot. Putting flaps on there is no nose up or down.. I reduce power on base and final its almost chopped. She settles in nicely. Many flights. She will land without flaps just as well but faster.

Putting flap in the center sounds scary to me.
