Default canard pusher config

hello all,

I am in the process of building a canard wing model withengine mounted at therear with apusher prop configuration and I was wondering if it would be benificial to mount the engine with a little 'up thrust' and' left thrust'asI have seenon someplans it seems to bequite common to haveengine with tractor configuration mounted with somedown thrust and sometimes right thrust.The plans don't call for it but I have heard this model I am going to build needs the foreplane elevator with some down elevator to keep the nose up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
