Hi,
Yes. Same trick as I used on my just released hydrofoil.
You name ALL the model "trim", including Memory, GEO LODs etc and use animation code like below to "level" the whole addon.

         class Leveling1
            {
            type="rotationX";
            source = "horizondive";
            selection="trim";
            axis="osatrim";
            memory = 1;
            minValue = -1;
            maxValue = 1;
            angle0="rad 57.3";
            angle1="rad -57.3";
            };

The axis goes around the middle somewhere.
You can use similar code to level the left-right back as well. (Use source = "horizonBank" and another axis)
Looking forward to the first ArmA airship
