Ah no, you're wrong. (I'm a full-size aircraft owner/pilot since '78). The trim tab on your elevator is not what corrects for the
right turning tendencies of an aircraft. They are torque, prop wash, p-factor, etc. that cause the nose of the aircraft to rotate
(turn) left. Ailerons "bank" an aircraft, the rudder turns an aircraft, and the elevator in simple terms makes it go up and down.
(Yes, I know that power is altitude...I said in SIMPLE terms).
