I have been having fun with my new Knife flying really slow and even landing vertically into a headwind using flaps.

As I understand the Harrier you are flying using the motor's thrust and not the lift from the wing. I have tried this with little success. It seems like I am always juggling the elevator and throttle to keep the nose up without having the plane sink or climb.


Questions:


Is a true Harrier a slightly tilted Hover where the thrust is pushing the plane foreward???

How do you manage the throttle and elevator??

Thanks
