With his mechanical flaps that works very well. With my electric flaps
it doesn't. I end up reducing drag and increasing lift which will
actually increase my roll out a bit. (I can be stopped by the time
they are full up)

We had an old V Tail Bo on the line around the Jurassic Period that we used
for charter once in a while.
After touchdown, she was pretty well planted unless you brought it in a bit
fast. Very stable on landing; in fact, I always liked the way the Bo handled
on landings. Solid as a rock!
My procedure with the Bo was to NOT touch the flaps during the rollout until
the airplane had left the runway, then I'd LOOK at the switch, TOUCH the
switch, REPEAT verbally to myself, "Flaps UP!", THEN I'd raise the flaps.
