I have had it to the shop several times and they have adjusted the brakes and say everything is operating normally. In my mind this is not normal operation.
Modulate means to adjust the intensity of something. There is a range of braking rates that are possible, as determined by hand pressure, but some brakes are inherently grabby (i.e. have an off - full on type of tendency, with modulation of the braking force difficult to achieve.). If you are flipping, either your brakes are either exceptionally grabby or your hand is exceptionally grabby. I tend to thing its mostly the latter.

Did I miss it or did you not tell us what brand / model of brakes you have on your trike?
