Thanks Joe, with that Cg (220mm) when flying inverted do you need much down elevator?
J.C.
At this CG, I am getting an easy nose high landing with mains on the pavement and easily holding the nose high while slowing down. I prefer to have to add a touch of down Elevator when inverted. But with the way I set up my down ele. throw being less than my up and then adding some expo, it would look like I am putting in more than what the plane is actually getting . I set my inverted flight throws that allow me to roll inverted with no pitch changes. You see, I have flown competition so much in the past, i found that my thumb always liked moving to a comfortable position to fly inverted, so I adjust my inverted throws and stick position to be where it, my thumb, likes moving to naturally. This works great fo me.
So the simple answer is that it takes some minor down elevator input to hold inverted. I personally find it unnatural to be at neutral stick flying inverted.
