may not be a problem at all....

what kind of airframe?

it is not uncommon for an aerobatic airframe with a symmetrical airfoil to have to fly with a little bit of nose up angle of attack

Yes if you set it up to be 0-0-0. The problem with this is that the engine thrust and stab are no longer paralell to flight path. This mainly effects uplines. Try setting the wing to +1/2 degree with everything else at 0. The fuse will then fly level and uplines won't tuck to the gear. well maybe not so noticable, I find that all my IMAC airplanes end up getting 1/2 degree upthrust.
