That is correct. Because a tail heavy full flying stabilizer actually provides positive stability while flying.
If the plane encounters an up draft, the stabilizer will tend to rotate leading edge up if its CG is behind its pivot point. This will have a pitch down effect on the plane, which will counter the effect of the up draft.
