setting engine degree

[tonneau]

hi guys
i'm writing from italy.
sorry for my english if i will write something wrong

This is my problem about hovering with my china edge 540t

When i'm in hovering my plane go away from my position.

I think that the problem should be the wrong incidence of my engine position.

Is it right if I set positive incidence to my engine?
In this way my plane will stay in vertical position and it doesn't go away from right position

Can i have some informations about setting degree engine?

Thanks

I tryed to be clear to explain my problem and I hope you understand me.

Setting more up-thrust may help you with your problem, but if sounds like you just need to pull back on the elevator a bit more. It's easy to hover slightly nose down as the plane is more stable.
You may want to try some more tail weight also.
When you are hovering in this attitude what happens if you apply more up elevator?

if I apply more up elevator, the hover is better, but during normal fligt, plane goes up and i have to trim down elevator.

for this reason i think to change engine incidence.

I think you are on the right track. The plane should not pull in a hover. Too much down thrust will make you use most of your up elev just to compensate. Same for left and right. When it's right, you just make small corrections.

I am assuming that there is no wind as that will cause the tail to push out from under the nose.

How is your CG.
Is the plane properly balenced.

Where is your motor incidence with your problem? Most aerobatic models are set to "0" with typically 2* of right. There maybe other issues causing the model to behave a certain way. What is the incidence of the flying surfaces in relation to each other? Are your control surfaces truely "neutral" when flying straight, level, or do you have trim to compensate for something?

How did you ever make out with this?

It's the thrust angle at which you engine is set at. It's normally built into the firewall according to the model of plane and what size it is. It also could be a problem with the CG. If it's pitching up then it is most likely tail heavy. But that still doesn't explain the fact that it's walking away in a hover. But that is just my advice.
