Default Control surface throws for flying wing?

A club buddy tells me I also need to have both elevons up slightly (1/8 inch) or it will take a nose dive upon launch. He reckons to do this for the test flight, then trim it and leave it. Is that what you guys do? Also, how do you guys launch these things? I'm assuming it's a 2 person job? What do you get your helper to do? Just let go of the wingtips when you give him the nod, or does he need to give it a bit of a push?
