A bit late to the party, but mine does the same. I've flown mine about 6 times (shitty, wet, windy weather lately), and mine flys great. Mine has a tendency to climb on full throttle, so i fly on maybe half throttle. I have had one "crash" landing on 3rd flight (about 2ft or so off the ground, throttled back on landing approach, big gust pushed it into the ground). Cracked a chunk out of the lower cowl, and ripped the left hand undercarriage leg mount off. Superglue fixed it in 30 seconds flat. Can't tell there was any damage at all. Hope you're having as much fun with your Staggerwing as I am with mine.
You have to understand how the gyros work. It will give up elevator for ground take off. Once in the air it will level out. As for the down elevator that is the gyro trying to level the plane, it will do that because it's sitting on the floor and the tail is lower than the level flight position. I have two of them planes and they do the exact same thing, but once in the air they fly awesome.
I know nothing about these but let me say this. I once was with a friend that purchased a drone. There was a process, press and holding something while doing something else sort of stuff, that you had to go through where the remote control and the drone find each other so to speak and connect before the controls worked as they should. Maybe it is the same for planes.

Did you add weight for cog*

There are tricks for sure
That is normal. You have it in stabilization mode. The gyro is working.
Thanks mike. I will fly it again asap
No aconsejo vuela mal.Diseño bonito y nada mas emisora deficiente,no aconsejo su compra.
10g in the nose it flies well
Bierze szerokie zakręty, więc dorobiłem lotki na górnym skrzydle, 4gr ołowiu pod silnik i lata na 3S. Całkiem inny lot!
