Joseph:
I found that if you raise the engine about 1/4" at the front of the mount you will get the needed down thrust. Also, one other thing to note is that elevator neutral on this plane is obtained with a straight edge along the TOP of the stab and the top of the elevator flush with the straight edge. For landing I use 35 deg. of flaps and this requires approximately 3/16" of DOWN elevator. The Tornado manual says to use up elevator mix with the 35 deg. of flaps but trust me this is not correct (did that on the first flight and the plane hovered for a few seconds before I removed the flaps, throttled up and flew out of the HOVER) Let me know if I can be of any assistance. You can PM me if you like.
