It doesn't solve the problem though. It actually creates an opposite problem that is more difficult to adjust for than the original one was. An elevator mix is no substitute for having the thrust line set properly.
Sure it is. A down or for that matter up thrust angle is a counter to an undesirable flight characteristic. For example, a very common problem for a non symmetric foil is the changing lift with changes of speed. Traditionally that undesirable has been countered by down thrust to correct the lift when power is applied. What opposite problem is created by correcting climb with elevator mix as opposed to down thrust?
