Steep dive?

Hi -- I want my plane to be able to dive steeply. So if I set a waypoint at 5000 ft, and another very close by at 2000 ft, it will dive steeply to reach the second point at 2000 ft. What do I need to change in the parameters to make this happen? Thanks!

    Try 'Pitch Min' to something like -60 (or more) and set 'ALT_CTRL_ALG' to 1. That will tend to use the elevator more, and essentially puts ArduPlane into altitude priority mode, as opposed to airspeed priority.

    Don't pull the wings off when you pull out :)
