Default RE: Down Elevater to fly level?

OK, so it's a profile drawing and having done quite a few, there'll be a bit of artistic licience so not exactly NASA data. But the artist will have captured the aircrafts defined proporties.
You can see a pronounced engine down thrust plus a definate positive incidence on the stab.
Difficult to tell exactly how much positive incidence the wing is carrying but it''ll be more than plenty.
It's the pos incidence on the stab (similar/identical to down elevator trim) that's the give-a-way.
Plus the stonking load of down thrust.

As mentioned I'd have thought H9 would have designed those out for a sports scale rc model.
Could they have kept the wing scalish... then zero'd the stab and engine.
Hummm.
