aeronautical Airplane Flap Design

For the Airo Engineers out here....
Hinge points on Flaps Or better -
When deployed and in use , Whats better, ??
To have the leading edge of Flap slightly above top of wing contour?
(so to run some top air over ?)
Or as in most applications they hinge on center and it stays that way through the travel.
I notice on jets there is allowances for air to be passed both directions.
You cant make a mistake here with your answers...LOL
This is for a couple RC airplanes we making .No one is going to be sued LOL
Some of the Old HIGH performance Fighters even had flaps under the wing so no top Boundary air was there at all !
So....after much thinking..........i am thinking I do not know much at all
