Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

With the spoilerons at 1/8" I can hold the nose up to land in a very "jet like" manner.
Does the above statement mean that when the ailerons go up the nose also pitches up?

Bill
Normally yes.

I off set this with a percentage of "down pitch" to compensate.

So when I flip the spoileron switch on my plane stays almost level.

However as I slow it down for landing I am better able to bring it in at a higher AOA, typically with the nose pointed up, while the rear wheels touch the ground...

Once the nose touches down, it rolls, and rolls, and rolls.
