F18c uncontrolled pitch up on takeoff.

During takeoff, when speed exceeds 100 knots, tail plane is set to full up and aircraft nose goes up causing a stall and crash. Pushing the stick forward does not have enough authority to counteract to noseup attitude. This does not happen on any other aircraft in my hanger.

You need to be 1/2 flaps (full also probably prevents this, but 1/2 is proper way to do it) for land or carrier takeoff.  If you forget and it starts doing a rocket to the moon imitation just flip flaps to 1/2 and back to AUTO and it will give you control back.
