Update:

Incidence meter showed approximately -1.0 degree on the thrust-line (down-thrust). I did some mild shimming to get about +1 degrees (up-thrust).

Won't be able to test until Friday night.

Bill,

Thanks for your advise, I'll be breaking out the jar of washers tomorrow.

JC, in my experience, yes the plane needs upthrust.

I am also using the Saito .91.

I ended up putting in a little bit of upthrust, and a LOT of right thrust, using 4-40 washers behind the engine mount, so I wouldn't have to fight it so much in a hover.
