Default RE: Downthrust for motor

And about 2 degrees of right thrust.....

You'll probably find that the model still wants to nose up with power even with 4 degrees of downthrust. This will be much more noticable if you're using a gear drive system and large efficient prop. If you trim the CG placement using the dive test procedure you'll find the nose up effect may be reduced somewhat.
