It will move away from the body. But its folding motion is more important than the distance. Appleby's elbow looks like it stays attached while others have elbows that look like it will never stop moving away.
The first move of a Right Forearm Take-away should begin like a clapping motion away from the center. I would not think about where the right elbow is but rather have it fold while the right hand traces the straight plane line.
As you discovered the hands move out, up and in- a three dimensional move along the incline swing plane (which is attached to the striaght plane line on the ground like a roof to a gutter), allow the elbow to fold and cock the left flat wrist as it moves On Plane. The structure of the bent right wrist with the flat left wrist (Flying wedges) is more important than where the elbow is at the top.
Where it is on the DownStroke is the 100 dollar question.

will it move early in the swing or late in the back swing?
will it move early in the swing or late in the back swing?
The right forearm is moving the hands, so it would be early. The left shoulder is NOT pushing the hands away in a so-called one piece take-away.
It is important to focus on the right hand- pp3- is it traces the plane line on the ground. The right elbow will fold naturally.
Althought the right hand -pp3- traces the straight plane line running linear along the ground, examination will show you that the hands- Flying Wedges- are moving out-up and in along the inclined swing plane. The Magic of the Right Forearm.
