Default what is the correct setting for the bot tail.

hey gang, i'v built many kits,sig hog bipe,gp extra 300s,many 35" ws kits by sig herr .i am building the bot and am up to cutting the slot for the vertical fin to allow the elevator to move up and down. positioning the tail and checking the throw on up and down....it seems the down elevator position is very slight compared to the up elevator movement.drawings and instructions arn't clear of what the elevator should look like in nuetral,so if the photos i'v taken and using a straight edge on the bottom of the fuse are correct ...i'll proceed with the final steps. picture 1 is neutral,picture 2 shows the elevator in it's full down position which is as far as it will go,and picture3 is the full up. instructions say to use 1/2"throws. picture 4 shows the space in the slot of the vertical fin has very little room[approx 1/2inch] for the down position compared to the space for up elevator/. any suggestions will be very helpful as i'v neveer built a plane that the whole horizontial section moved like this. i would hate to launch and need to use down trimm to attain level flight and not have more down to get a landing....lol. thanks gang,stu
