Got some more trimming in. Things are starting to make more sense. I added an ounce to the tail, took out some of the up elevator trim. It'll fly hands off level, still had a bit of forward stick to maintain inverted. Knife edge on small deflections got easier, plus less up trim on the elvator took out the pull to the canopy. Added another ounce to the tail, got the elvator almost dead neutral now. Upright and inverted almost hands off, with the elevator neutral trimmed it's not feeling the same both upright and inverted, it descends a bit moe inverted hands off than upright. I think I want to keep the elevator trimmed dead neutral and get the plane to feel the same upright and inverted with the aileron rigging. Then sneak another half ounce in the tail to get it to stop descending. It'll knife edge to the next county with only rudder input now, no more pull to the canopy on small rudder deflection knife edge. Has a slight roll to level with rudder, should mix out very easily.

The plane still gets weird on bigger rudder deflections. Tucks to the belly and will snap out of knife edge with enough rudder deflection. But with the CG aft there's no need for big deflections. It'll knife just fine even at somewhat slow speeds on maybe 20 degrees of throw. Haven't tried to go all the way round a KE loop yet, it's been pretty windy, but it goes up and over the top easily so far. Harriers and waterfalls are definitely easier with the CG back.

Gonna have to get another degree or two of right thrust in it, it seems to fall to the left consistently in a hover, but I'll wait til a calm day to be certain.

Landings need some down elevator on approach or it drops the tail as it slows. I can live with that. Harrier landings are pretty much hands off now unless it's gusty.
