Indoor scale trim question

I recall reading (somewhere) that indoor scale planes should be trimmed as
follows:
High wing trimmed to fly clockwise.
Low wing trimmed to fly counter clockwise.
I don't recall reading the reasoning behind this & I would like to understand
the aerodynamic theory for why this is preferable & presumably produces
longer flight times.
I understand that not everyone subscribes to this theory & that certain
planes do not respond well to being forced to fly against their natural
inclination. What I am interested in is understanding the reason for this theory & in
particular why high wings & low wings are different.
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
