The nose pitch after engine cut will depend on how you have your CG set; tail heavy will give you nose-up as throttle is cut, while slight nose heavy will give you nose down. I've got mine set a hair nose heavy, so when the prop stops, the nose comes down. The plane flies light (mine is at 7.25 lbs) but it's no trainer, so it will glide down a bit faster. Keep the glide speed up on a dead stick approach and wait until base/final to bleed off your energy by flaring or slipping. Avoid slowing it down too much; practice slow flight up high with power on to feel out the stall speed.
