I'm with TallPaul and others. I've never seen ANY airplane fly with the nose 20 degrees up in straight and level flight unless it was flying near stall speed. The 40 degrees mentiond during landing is a good harrier landing - no way the wing wasn't stalled if the nose really was that high on landing approach. Something is odd about this. falcon7a, Is it possible you are over-estimating the angle? It is difficult to estimate deck angle accurately, unless you are looking at the airplane directly from the side. If you like the way it flies otherwise, I wouldn't mess with it.
