"The full scale ME 262 had (has... there are a few replicas flying. ) appx 9 deg downthrust to induce a bank opposing the yaw induced by offset thrust".
No it doesn't.
Youu have to see the PLANS for the thing... the profile view of the aircraft doesn't look like it... but it is there.
LOOK at an Altech Tamecat. How much total downthrust angle do you SEE? (about NONE) How much it there? 9 deg. (if built by the instructions) appx 3 deg due to a droop angle to the fuselage nose, then 6 deg firewall in relation to the nose section. And then... they gave the thing a + 3 deg stab incidence. (so the thrust line is -12 deg compared to the stab but it ALL looks STRAIGHT)

Yes that's right... the Tamecat has a degcalage OPPOSITE in diretion to what is normal.. (its something to do with the lifting body effect of that suber-wide fuselage. It NEEDS it.)
