Default GP Venus 40 Engine Thrust

I'm nearing completion on my Venus and was looking on the GP website at the tech data for the plane. The site specifies 3 degrees right thrust and 3 degrees up thrust (I guess I'm reading that right; it calls for -3 degrees down). Is this thrust built in to the firewall or does the motor mount and engine need to be shimmed. It's interesting that, with an instruction manual as good as GP has put together on this plane, that this aspect of building isn't mentioned. Has anyone else had issues with this or am I just being an anal-retentive engineer?

Thanks for the continued help,
Tim
