Let me give my preferences on this, too. I pull the trigger for high speed, and my up line is aft. I am pretty pleased with this setup. I also have a cable attached to the leading edge of the wing and ending in a loop that goes around the up line between the line slider and the fuse. The idea of this "corrector line" is to restore neutral elevator to nearly the correct handle position after the slider goes aft, and to minimize the changes to the throttle position. This has been published before, but let me go through the whole deal here.
The idea is to be able to get full throttle in high speed but you don't need to reach minimum throttle during high speed. For low speed you want the full throttle range, or very nearly so. So set your line/leadout lengths so throttle is right in low speed. Neutral elevator is required in high speed, but it is not so important in low: Holding a bit of up in low speed is not a problem, but holding a lot of elevator in low, especially if it is down elevator, makes flying difficult. So my setup procedure would be as follows. First, make all your flying lines the same length, exactly. You might make spares at the same time, so if you break or kink a line and need a replacement, you don't have to go through any setup, just put in a new one you have already made. Then set up your elevation line leadouts so they are the same length when in neutral and slider forward position. This gives you level elevator for high speed. Now, release the slider to the aft position and set the corrector so that you are almost, but not quite, in level elevator position. (Trying to correct this perfectly may be difficult with extreme sliders, and is not needed.) Set the handle trigger in forward (low speed) position and make up the throttle leadout so that the throttle system is at the full low speed end of the bellcrank travel. (All this setup can be done with the throttle linkage disconnected. The idea is to get the travel right from stop-to-stop on the bellcrank. You can hook up the throttle linkage later, without having anyone out on the handle but just using the full travel on the bellcrank.)
Now, when you check things out at the field, you will find that you have the elevator in neutral for high speed, and the throttle uses the full travel in low speed. But the throttle line may be drooping in high speed (slider forward) if you pull the trigger all the way back. This is not a problem for either flight or pull test. For pull test, just leave the trigger alone and the forces on the lines will equalize as the bellcrank automatically moves to a position equalizing the forces. In flight, the forces on the three lines will be equal unless you pull the trigger with a death-grip. Just relax to the tension a bit and the forces are fully distributed. If you really try to pull the trigger hard, you will be fighting the full forces of the flight pull with one finger, which is not a fair match. It doesn't help the flight, and just makes your finger hurt on the trigger, so just relax. When I go to low speed, I might not get full travel using the trigger, but it will slow the airplane down a lot. I set up my slider to release requiring both low throttle and down elevator. This may require me to reach around the handle to pull the throttle line sideways a little while I give a pulse of down elevator. This is pretty easy to do.
I hope I have made this clear enough to be understood by all. It may sound complicated, but it really works well for me.
