An elevator is a maneuver where you get up pretty high maybe 200' with a 60 size plane and slow the plane to a stop (idle) and increase to full up elevator throw, at least 45 degrees elevator throw. If you enter it correctly the plane will sit flat and not drop a wing or "stall" But will begin to descend vertically flat, just like it would sit on the runway. When you get it right the plane sits real flat and just comes straight downward pretty quickly..

Also some guys will get into the elevator by performing a wall type maneuver. Chop the throttle and dive about 30' straight dowm and then suddenly apply full up elevator, the plane will sortof "pop" into the elevator maneuver. Looks cool but its a little tricky especially if you are new to aerobatics.

To fly out ease the elevator to neutral and the throttle back in easy as needed to fly out level. If you throttle up to fast or let the elevator out too slow, the nose will shoot straight up and it will flip over, too slow and it stalls.


Problems you will face...
1. Wingrock. Wings will rock back and forth faster and faster until the plane drops the wing (stalls).
Correct with aileron and elevator throw and while you are learning its better to have a little too much throttle than not enough, gradually work it down
2. Wingrock,, hehehe, seriously
3. Nose drops out,, need more up elevator or a little more throttle
4. Nose pops up,, too much throttle upon entry. But you may have to ease it in to stabilize as it begins to descend..

Be ready with the throttle, poweris your friend. If you stall and the nose points down gun the throttle and pull out. IF you dont have enough wind moving over the surfaces they often wont respond so throttle up and give them something to work with. Mega power and a reliable battery pack are a 3ders best friends..
