Default BVM KINGCAT ENGINE ANGLE

Hi All. I am thinking of adding a new model to my jet collection. I am very attracted to the BVM Kingcat, but I cannot understand why it should require so much downthrust on the engine. It looks decidedly odd to me, especially as I have a Bandit , aMaverick and have flown other BVM models including the T33, and they all fly perfectly without such oddities. Even the good old Kangaroo with its high thrustline does not require such a drastic engine angle. I have flown a BVM Bobcat which also flies ok but it still features downthrust on the engine,though not as much.I understand the Kingcat flies extremely well but I would like to understand the engine situation before I lay out the cash!!. I would appreciate enlightenment. Thanks, Paul, BIG BVM FAN.
