Last time I looked the elevator is attached to the back of the horizontal stabilizer and its power will way overcome any effect air moving over the stabilizer portion of the empennage might have. So if the air moving over the stabilizer puts a downward force on it, putting the elevators down will negate the stabilizer's downward force by a major big factor.
