Default Twin Somethin' Extra

I've been thinking about this one for a long time and finally went for it. The changes I've made to the kit are sheeted wings & turtle deck, twin (.25 FXs), shortened canopy, modified fin & rudder and monokote hinges.

Can someone give me a little advice on thrust angles. The engine mounts are even and parallel to the fuse thrust line. I've read that a little bit of outward thrust would help in stability and engine out situations. Is this correct? Also, does anyone think there needs to be any downthrust as well? I've got to get this figured out before I start building the nacelles.

Thanks for your help.
