Need some tips to get me dialed in, I must be missing something.

It's real unstable doing a harrier or hover. More than I would think, this plane flyies awesome!

C/G is pretty nuetral inverted. weight is 7lb. 4oz o.s. 91 fx with mousse can, got it dialed, plenty of usable power.
Ailerons are set neutral.

Flat spins are level, even the nose will start to come up real easy.
Knife edges are a dream, dead neutral, no pulling or pushing.

Tried lots of props, had a 16x4 just on pretty unstable, switched to a 15x 6, thats was alot better.

In a harrier, you just can't get a good angle, it's hard to hold the nose up, or it falls to the side,
a little more power and it just climbs up.
Maybe I'm spoiled flying my SPAD plane, that thing just loves flying in the harrier mode.

Appreciate any tips I might have missed.

Thanks!

Would maybe a 15x4 be better.

Right know in a hover I have to have the rpms down to nothing to hold it there, but when I need rpm to hold the nose up, it just climbs real easy.
The motor doesn't seem to have a narrow powerband at all.
