I understand the tailplane lift downwards for stability purposes, but for manoeuvring, or for any other reason, would tailplane lift ever be upwards in flight on your typical FAR 23 or 25 aircraft - Airbus/Boeing computerised relaxed stability aside. I say in flight, because I know about lifting the tail of a tail dragger on take off.

Thanks Gals/Guys.
