Angle of flight question

How do you change the angle of flight for a model? Is it in the aircraft cfg file. I have an aircraft that is pointing down while flying level.


Thank you.
 
Two ways come to mind to choose from....

in the aircraft.cfg

[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar = 1.0 <--decrease value
parasite_drag_scalar = 1.0
induced_drag_scalar = 1.0
elevator_effectiveness = 1.0
aileron_effectiveness = 1.0
rudder_effectiveness = 1.0
pitch_stability = 1.0
roll_stability = 1.0
yaw_stability = 1.0
elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1.0
aileron_trim_effectiveness = 1.0
rudder_trim_effectiveness = 1.0

or air file

Section 1204 Main Wing
Decrease the Angle of Incidence (no negative numbers I think)
 
When an aircraft wing is level with the horizen the nose of the aircraft nose in most casses is pointing down. Some pilots call it being on the step.
