Default RE: stab placement

Horizontal tail in line with wing helps inverted flight trim. If the horizontal is right in line with the wing then it sees the same downwash from the wing during upright or inverted flight. The downwash is always helping the nose up. It decreases the elevator trim difference between right side up and inverted slightly.
