Sorry can't attach a PDF file.

Matt, go to BV's site, under jet kits, go to BobCat and there is the PDF file for setting up crow. Under disabling flap lever there are instructions on setting elevator trim.
Hi Bob,

This is what is in the JR setup:

Use code 66 to set half and full flap – using flap gauge. Set elevator trim at half and full flap. (Approx. 6 up for half, 10-12
up for full, fine tune after first flights).
That is NOT in the Futaba setup. Thanks for the tip. As you said, it says up elevator, and you are saying down, right?

In both cases (JR and Futaba) they say:

NOTE: The amount of aileron “up” deflection is ¾” measured at the outboard end relative to the wingtip.
The flaps “down” is per the flap gauge supplied with this kit. The elevator trim will be close to neutral.
I took that to mean that crow eliminated the need to use elevator trim at all. I guess I will just dial it all in.

Regards,
