A Spitfire V as tested by NACA went practically into stall with the elevator still depressed at about 4° (~25% of travel). It did a 3g turn at 170 mph with the elevator at about neutral. Think about that when you check in game behaviour.

The neutral trim point of the elevator trim can be set by the pilot in game, so I don't think it matters much. I just trim it down a lot on take off and then have more fun flying the thing than I ever had before.
