Default Should ailerons move for pitch

Hi I just installed a new Rx-Tx system on a plane (http://www.nitroplanes.com/skytrainer400-red-arf.htmlif it's relevant)

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; ">But the thing is that whenever i pull down on the right stick (pitch control), instead of just having the elevators move up, the ailerons go down as well.

To the best of my knowledge, you only need to raise the elevators to make a plane climb. However i can't stop the ailerons from moving when I pull down on the right stick.

So here's the question
: is it OK if the ailerons also play a part in making the plane climb and descend (as opposed to just the elevators). If so, should they go tilt up or down to make the plane climb?</span><br type="_moz" />
