Trim push or hold?

[Sgt_Fresh]

Not much response, then over correction. Elevators move down after start of flight creating a death configuration, the plane will eventually stall out and crash. Trim doesn't seem to respond then all of the sudden a reverse death stall configuration occurs. What is the best way to get trim to respond? Thanks.

Are you setting proper flaps?

You only have to trim pitch when landing.

Flaps to half before takeoff.

After takeoff you have to set flaps to auto and the FCS will trim to 1G. No trim required.

No issues on my side, i T/O from land with Trim at 12 deg on land and 16 most of the time on carrier, i simply personaly hold the T/O trim button for the simple reason a few commands needs a few seconds sometimes to react with mosue clicking, like the TCN On/Off on the UFC, but just clicking in will adjust as you can see in your FCS page or CHECKLST page with a 12 deg indication. I presume depends how you do your startup, maybe wiping controls etc... can't say, but no issues on my side. As for trim, i simply trim in air once in a while when major speed changes trying to let the bird as level as possible when i don't hold the stick, so most of the time i barely need A/P. But as the previous post said, as soon as you raise gear and flaps, the bird will stop climbing, Flaps in the Hornets does makes the bird getting quite an interesting AoA versos for exemple the Harrier that i use to fly with flaps down for slower conditions.
