Thanks for the replies!

The stab is installed flat to the straight bottom line of the fuselage, and the chord line of the wing (symetrical wing) appears to be on the fuse straight with no built in incidence changes whatsoever.

World Models usually build a true and straight ARF. I am thinking that perhaps with a bit of upthrust it would fly more "trainer like" and that is what their intention was. For my purposes though I want it to be more of a neutral flier and have (so far) installed an Ernst 1 degree shim behind the motor mount. It still might have a tiny bit of upthrust and I might go to the 2 degree shim later. These Ernst shims are neat.... I have another one in there giving me a little right thrust also.
