Pitch Control Not Working

[lehbird]

Hello:

 

For some reason I can not get the aircraft to pitch down. I have the trim maxed out down and the aircraft continues to climb even with full forward yoke pressure. Any idea why that might happen?

Thanks,

Dave

Is your joystick properly calibrated?

User Error I think. I had damaged the elevator linkage somehow. All seems ok now.

I had the same issue on a my 3rd flight @lehbird. I was actually feathering the prop and gliding to try lose altitude and get back to my departure airport. It was quite a challenge.

In my case, I had a tail strike on departure due to me advancing the throttles way too quickly with a fully loaded plane. I did a wheelie and tail hit the ground. I took off anyway which was a really bad idea. In my case I had broken the elevator linkage, rudder linkage, and poked a hole in the fuselage. It was an expensive day.
