Setting up Elite B-18

[Spooky2138]

I recently setup B-18 and it came with a template for setting some down elevator. When I give it full up elevator input, it does not seem or look like to be enough up.
Thanks for any help.

Welcome in @Spooky2138 , what transmitter are you using? You should be able to adjust the trim.
If anything, there should be just a touch of up elevator.

Thank you for responding, I'm using a nx8 spectrum transmitter. The problem I see is by design the elevator is supposed to have some down elevate elevator from the get-go and I don't seem to have enough up to make me feel comfortable

Have you adjusted it at the servo arm? Zero your elevator trim and then remove your servo horn and move the elevator that way. It's best to do that when your system is on.
All of mine are slightly up. I usually hand launch so it's insurance that my planes will go up at slower speeds.

will elevator move more in your comfortable direction not hooked up to servo? if yes then put a longer servo arm on that will make elevator move more .but only if it can

I have to believe it's a trim issue TNT, unless it's a 3d flyer, there is very little travel on the elevator servo.
I would guess that the servo horn just needed to be moved a little.
@Spooky2138 , can you post a picture with the elevator both up and down?

inn all my birds I have 45 degrees of travel in both directions. Some I've modified other were that way from maker
