Default DH88 Comet

I downloaded a set of plans for the DH88 Comet from the web. They were drawn by a man named Joe Colletti.
They are a nice set of plans, but I was just wondering about the following: all angles and incidences are set to zero on these plans. This can't be right I gather.
The plane is a 93" span twin, with high taper wings and a symmetrical airfoil.
Is there someone out there that can give me some advice on engine thrust lines, wing incidence and wash-out?
Anyone who knows the Comet will agree that this thing defenetly needs some wash-out, because stall properties without it would be terrible...

Some input would be helpfull
