I would venture to say you can find a number of combinations of thrust and incidence that will work just fine. The thing to do is have a starting point and work from there for desired performance and characteristics. For me, I'd start everything at zero. Then once familiar with the plane, I'd do a lot of power off (idle) gliding to check the CG and adjust the stab. Then I'd go to the stall to see which wing goes first and if that's what I want/like. And adjust the wings accordingly. More than 2-3 degrees adjustment should be suspect. Not saying it's wrong as it may well be what that model needs. But just double check to be sure.

And once you think you have things set, do all the tests over again. Yes, this could take a summer of flying to work out.
