Default RE: Engine angle on Kingcats, why ???

On many models, like the KC and Reaction, the engine eflux is so close to the horizontal stab that the accelerated airflow causes a low pressure area underneath, pitching the nose up more and more as power is applied. When the exhaust is pointed down the effect is to create a thrust-variable counter'force to this problem.
