That means that they travel 42 degrees

flaps in most upward position ment negative flaps of 7 degrees up, and vice
versa that means that downward travel is 35 degrees
The flap and wing of the 320 is very similar to the 235. The difference is that the 320 fillet meets the flap at 7 degrees up while the 235 fillet meets the flap at zero degrees.
<<And that is what happend on my first landing:
approaching with about 95 mph I pulled back the throttle and the aircraft
stopped flying almost immediately. (It just fell down)>>
That is the wrong way to land the heavier 320. One technique is to fly onto the runway - hold some power until the wheels just touch then immediately reduce to idle, holding the elevator with slight back pressure. Do NOT stall land a 320. Another method is to fly a steeper approach but with less power then, when level just 6 inches above the runway, take off the flaps and let it settle.
<<the 320 has the battery placed directly behing right seat, which gives the
aircraft rear center of gravity positions which makes the aircraft very
unstable>>
A rear CG makes the 320 unstable. The battery position does not necessarily cause that proble. I use a 28 AH battery - only a few pounds lighter than yours. Do you have a header tank? If so, keep it full. Are you using the light MT prop? If so, get a 12 pound harmonic dampener that bolts to the starter ring flywheel - it can move your CG .5 inches forward (see any Sport Aviation, Prop classifieds, Mark Landoll). It also smooths out the felt engine pulses.
Good Luck,
