Hey FatKat,

The training gear causes the plane have more lift so it can stay in the air at slower speeds, to give a beginner more time to react.

It is normal that you will need to be going faster to get the same amount of lift when you remove the trainer gear.

I think you are on the right track by adjusting to give you more elevator throw. I would adjust it one notch at a time though. As you probably know, each time you move to a farther hole on the horn(on servo, opposite effect on control surface horn) , the more sensitive it becomes. So the elevator will be more "touchy". If you are not careful you may tend to over control the airplane if you move it too much at once. The great thing about computer radios is that you can adjust the end points without adjusting the sensativity. But If you don't have end point adjustments then your only option is to adjust the control horn.

But adjust it slowly, or maybe adjust it all the way, but do it with your instruct and the buddy box in case it is too sensitive for you.

Good luck!
