Default Roo engine thrust

Ok..now my roo gears are sorted out...what abt the engine thrust angle? A friend of mine has put some shims at the BACK of his p120, effectively pointing the engine downwards (tail cone UP, so effectively giving the plane a down thrust). He says this setup makes the plane fly well. He hold full up elevator from the beginning and the roo rotates comfortably.

I remember that there was a discussion on RCU some time ago...where someone suggested to shim the engine from the FRONT...so as to point it slightly upwards (giving it an upthrust). The argument there, I believe was, to compesate for the higher engine thrust line vis a vis the roo's itself.

Are there different setups for different flight characteristics? Advanced vs. novice? I am confused.

Thanks in advance.
