Default Telemaster Twin

We still have snow up to our butts and I'm bored. Checked around the shop and found a couple of OS 55's and a Senior Telemaster kit along with some fuel tanks and landing gear. Got me thinking, and my wife hates it when I start thinking. I'd like to turn this Senior into a twin. I've never bashed a twin, all my twins are ARF's.

I got the plan pretty much on paper but I'm stuck on one key item. Thrust offsets. The Senior single plan has several degrees of down thrust which I'll need on the twin configuration (I'm assuming). But, what about the side thrust, depending on what thread I read some folks say no side thrust others say a few degrees out on each side while others say only a few degrees out on the right motor.

I'm also taking most of the dehedral out of the wing. Plan shows roughly 5 degrees and I'm changing it to one degree. Think thats a good idea?
Appreciate all the great advice you guys always have, Jerry.
