When you deploy flaps how does the plane respond in pitch? Does the nose go up or down and is it negligible, modest or pronounced? Likewise, how would you characterize what happens when flaps are retracted?I am specifically interested in the Firefly but suspect that all Kolbs are somewhat similar.

Bob,
As you extend the flaps the nose will rotate down in a modest to pronounced
manner. As you remove the flaps the reverse is true.

Flaps and ailerons affect trim the same way. Lower the flaps or ailerons, the nose goes down, raise the flaps or ailerons, the nose goes up.
Which means, if you don't like the stick pressure that you currently have, it is easy to trim out.
