Default RE: Inverted airfoil on tail surface?

Thanks, I think I get it. So the faster the plane goes (for example because of the dive) the more lift the tail surface would have thus allowing it to more easily "pull out" i.e. to adapt a nose up attitide. I'm assuming the type of airfoil used on the tail is such that at normal level flight speeds it wouldn't have much effect.
