that bothers me too but you can always just go in the rotator and control surface (to set other inputs on control surafces, OL is needed) to what you said, but note that the elevator's rotators are kinda small and hidden in that weird cosmetic block that appears on a wing but only in the designer.

@EngineerOtaku Thank you!
Same deal as the F-18; smooth handling, good model (so many lights lol), and low part count so pretty much any user can download and fly it.

@ReinMcDeer I started using the activation groups for my flaps, but that comes with the disadvantage that they're either on or off (unless you do some funky tree stuff to get intermediate positions). Still it frees up VTOL for other uses and Trim for...trim. :) I see where you're coming from though and that's fine.
@47parzival41 I like to set the flaps to the trim so I can use the trim reset hotkey to reset the flaps, but that's just my personal preference.
Really good F-15!
This......is awesome!
