Default Spindle height

This is my first post here. I've haunted rec.woodworking for years
though.
I have a cheap lathe I'm learning to use. I have several books from
the library which are a big help but none mention the correct height
for the spindle. From the pictures it appears that somewhere around
elbow height is right? Mine is about 6" below my elbow.
Am I worrying about nothing or should I raise the lathe?
Thanks.
