Default Question re Elevator Trim

Hi,

I'm getting ready to fly my first RC plane, Horizon Zone's Super Cub S.

After assembling it, I noticed that when the TX elevator trim is centered, the elevator is in a slight up position. My first instinct was to trim it to a level position, which takes all the trim adjustment available in that direction.

But then I thought that maybe the slight up elevator is a safety feature, since the plane probably will nose dive when there is no up elevator.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,
Bill
