methods to increase elevator effectiveness
1.  land with an aft cg
2.  place vortex generators ahead of the elevator hinge line
3.  change the tail setting angle to increase the angle of attack in the landing configuration, and thus the circulation around the horiz. tail.  NB:  This will affect the normal straight and level trim and the aerobatic manoeuvre margins.
4.  maintain the AR at 3 and increase the tail volume

If you increase the AR then it may help but it will affect trim for cruise straight and level due to the change in download on the tail increasing the chord of the elevator (reducing the AR) and increasing the semi span to maintain AR 3 is probably one way.  The simplest of increasing the AR or maintaining AR3 with increased chord.  Again I say landing with aft cg may solve your issues as long as you are calm on the sticks..

bear in mind that the spit and to a lesser extent the hurri were very pitch sensitive animals at full scale.  Surprisingly their roll rates were quite average.  Pilots had difficulty with the pitch sensitivity.

Do  you find that with a scale Hurri?

This does imply the distance from the cg to the tail AC was made shorter by Camm and Mitchell such that the pitch sensitivity helped the pilot achieve a better roll rate by pulling and rolling simultaneously.

ME 109 experten trimmed the a/c nose up and flew with pressure on the stick.  This was to improve the a/c response in roll when evading a bounce.

I have landed the twin engine DH Dove with a full complement of Pax and that beast ran out of trim during the last part of the approach with dunlops dangling and going to land flap.  So this was an a/c where you landed with disconcerting back stick pressure prior to flare.

This is interesting

I have my stability and control reference books packed in boxes somewhere.  If I can locate them I will do some calls
I need to know the model scale %

impressions from Chris Erdos
A normal approach starts with a fighter-style overhead break. I always look inside for a moment to ensure that I work the silly H-shaped lever in the right direction: inboard for undercarriage, outboard for flaps. Undercarriage and flap extension are both just slow enough to always raise a pucker of concern. Expect a BIG pitch trim change with flap extension, and it’s normal to run out of aft elevator trim on approach. Elevator effectiveness is poor in the 3-point attitude. Leave a trickle of power through the flare or it will drop out from under you. The landing is almost - pardon the pun – a bit of a let-down. It’s easy. The Hurricane’s undercarriage is wide and soft, and the directional stability and response allow adequate tracking through the roll-out. Compared to the Spitfire, there’s even enough download on the tail to allow some use of brakes.

small tail feathers, but it's a freaking brick truck compared with the Spit LOLOL

That's a super vodeo tho....I'd love to have a ride in that Mossie, perhaps more than the Lanc..

was there, by any chance, a possibility that British pilots in Africa wore the blues? (Mike P where are you?). I can get this figure (thanks Cool) but the uniform is wrong - every thing I see has them wearing pretty scruffy khaki's...

Of course the Mae West would be superfluously redundant I think..

Only the high altitude reconnaissance would have worn warm clothing.

The woolen blues no.2s , I think, would have been worn at some formal event in Alexandra etc.

Shirt sleeves at low level and jacket up to 15000

Not much fighting went on at altitude
The order of the day was the luff berry defencive circle which was suicidal against the 109s which would dive in and out and pick them off one by one

The hurries later had the 4 20mm Hispano cannons which were heavy or the tank busting 40mm - I think

I have rad much about the desert warfare and all the pics were black and white
But I never saw blues

If you were over the med then you wore a Mae West

Here you go. No more red numbers....

yup, sand is what I've been able to find, but BBI is the only one who made a Desert Dressed British pilot and i haven't been able to find on of those......

Mike, if you can just do that with the photo direct from the Haynes Hurricane Manual we'll have it made.... 

So more pics
In the third they are wearing partly blues! AND Mae Wests
Seems like it was a min true of garb
Depending on individual taste, time of year and mission
