Default CAP 232 Lanier, Engine Incidence

Although this is more a building question; however I am right at the time where I have to decide. I am building a Lanier CAP232 (80 inches WS). I found with my surprise that the plans do not ask for right and down engine incidence. In order to get a good 3D performer. What is your experience with this airplane in this particular regarding? Do I need to put some down and right incidence to the engine firewall? If I ever need it how much?
I am installing a ZDZ50 engine.

My cap doesn't have any down but it does have prolly three degrees of right thrust and could use just a little more. I am running a bme 50, and really like the airplane. It does real good harriers, and waterfalls, as well as most other 3-d stuff.

Thanks for the input; I guess the 3 degrees are needed, specially to compensate the torque of the powerful gas engines (BME or ZDZ).

If there are no more suggestions out there I' will do it this way.

I had 2 degrees right thrust and approx 1.5 degrees downthrust. I had a Brison 3.2 (52cc) in mine.
