Default Advice for motor mount

I am in the process of designing a motor mount for my Integral. It's going to be a custom, composite mount machined by a friend in the hobby. The motor is a Plettenberg Advance. What I want is the ability to adjust the thrust line; I would like the 'stock' thrust line at first, and the ability to shift the motor to a second predetermined location. The reason - I have a set of foam cores that I am going to build. I want to fly the plane stock at first, and have 1/2 degree of positive wing angle in the new wings. Based on advice from people I trust, I would then end up wanting to reduce down thrust and increase right thrust.

Any thoughts/advice/pictures are greatly appreciated!
