Default RE: First Plane - Almost ready to go - Give pointers?

I do have a question - When I "Hopped" and ended up taking off - I didn't give it any elevator input till I had some pretty good speed up - When taking off should I keep my elevator pitched at all or should I just let the plane take off on it's own - I'm not sure it would of if I hadn't given it some elevator - Actually - I'm pretty sure it wouldn't of - I'm wondering in my head if I should give it 3/4 to full stick elevator while taking off - A: Would that work? - B: Where should I have my elevator?
