Default Intruder setup and trimming

Did my first flight on the Intruder ARF last week. I had. .6 degree of decalage and found that I needed significant down trim to fly level. Am I correct that I need to reduce the decalage setting until the elevator is straight with the stabilizer? I have flown a Kaos in SPA for 5 years now, so I do have the standard trim guides. I know I'll need to check knife edge flying and such also, but if elevator trim is an indicator of how the decalage needs to move, that lets me get it close before I get that rare calm day in Texas to really dial it in.
