I have built my qhor as a gee bee,

Q/did i need too??

When I r.o.g. all she wants to do is come back down,

No idea, Where does it balance? Should be at the airfoil fold with the tank FULL.

I put in 2deg down + 2 deg right, Q. did I need to??
Nope. Should fly great at 0/0. With down and right it may be harder to hold a straight hover.

Q. what angle do I set the elevator and ailerons??
Elevator neutral (flat with rest of stab). Ailerons neutral (parallel with the RAIL.) not drooping at all. Fly it and trim it as necessary. Reflex the Ailerons up if needed but not down. It will become a dog in a real hurry

My PQHOR is the same weight as yours and with a .46LA it is a blast. Pulls from a hover no problem. Harriers are sooooo easy compared to "normal" planes. I didn't worry about thrust just bolt the engine on until ILAR.

Mine balances maybe a 1/2 inch behind the fold, not on purpose, just the way it came out. I can't seem to make mine fly bad

Have Fun
