I have confused myself........If I am flying along, and I move the trim wheel in such a way that the servo tab moves down, that would make the nose of the airplane pitch up...correct?? And if I move the servo tab up, that will make the nose of the plane pitch down....yes??

The tail is a stabilator. You have anti-servo tabs. If you move the stick aft, both the aft end of the stabilator and the anti-servo tab move up.

Push forward on the trim wheel...tab up , nose down . . Pull trim wheel aft ...tab down , nose up . Think of the tab like an aileron on the wing . Aileron down...wing up . Aileron up...wing down . Now push the middle valve down and the music goes round and round and it comes out here ! ::) BOO YAH ! I think I got this right ?

What Cubes said about the stabilator and the anti servo tabs .
