That will do it. With power on you will be using some up elevator to counteract the down thrust. When you cut the throttle theplane then sails upwards.

Dennis,
Have you double checked your CG? I'm sure you know that a tail-heavy plane tends to baloon on landing. I know I've had that problem with more than one plane.
