Lowering the elevator increases the lift of the tailplane (at the rear of the aircraft), thus pitching the aircraft's nose down; vice-versa for raising the elevators.
Aircraft are often "trimmed" by adjusting a trim tab in the elevator.
Elevators are sometimes (as when fire alarms are sounded or it is the weekend in corporate buildings) locked down on the ground/first floor.

Aircraft are often "trimmed" by adjusting a trim tab in the elevator.
Oftentimes two elevators are linked together, so that there is one call panel on each floor for two (or more) elevators, and when you press the appropriate button, the increased number of available cars will be taken advantage of when calculating the most efficient way and order in which to serve you.

 Aircraft Pitch Motion
The pitching motion is being caused by the deflection of the elevator of this aircraft.
The elevator is a hinged section at the rear of the horizontal stabilizer.
The lift generated by the elevator acts through the center of pressure of the elevator and horizontal stabilizer and is located at some distance from the center of gravity of the aircraft.

 Horizontal Stabilizer - Elevator
The elevator is the small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that is attached to the fixed sections by hinges.
Because the elevator moves, it varies the amount of force generated by the tail surface and is used to generate and control the pitching motion of the aircraft.
The elevator is used to control the position of the nose of the aircraft and the angle of attack of the wing.

 Space elevator: Encyclopedia II - Space elevator - Physics and structure
A space elevator cannot be an elevator in the typical sense (with moving cables) due to the need for the cable to be significantly wider at the center than the tips at all times.
On elevator designs whose cables are planar ribbons, some have proposed to use pairs of rollers to hold the cable with friction.
A collision between the elevator and the 22.2 km diameter moon would have to be avoided through active steering of the elevator, or perhaps by moving the moon itself out of the area.

  Dr Derek Bray, DAPS - OLAE Course Fixed Wing Aircraft Flight Mechanics Information
Upwards deflection of the elevator trailing edge produces a reduction in camber, less lift (on the tailplane) and consequently a nose-up pitching moment.
The elevator is able to work very effectively at subsonic speeds since its activation affects the angle of attack of the entire tailplane (due to the reorientation of the subsonic streamline distribution ahead of the elevator).
A nose-up aircraft pitching moment is therefore produced by a downwards trailing-edge deflection of the canards.

Elevator looks from this what differently manufacturer passes and......
I prefer a bigger engine because it can be reused in the future in bigger aircraft, just use throttle mangement in the razzia because the DA-50 has to much power for it.
I see the elevator has aerodynamic compensation at the extreme that I didn't see on the picture of the website where I bought it, is it may be a new modification by the manufacturer?

Assign servos to a mixer that has flap as an input and it will generate false servo neutrals, the neutral being the fixed value multilplied by the flap mixer value.
Also, when you move the flap control widget, nothing will happen to the flaps, aileron or elevator trim offset since the flap control is sending its fixed value and ignoring the switch/slider.
