I am almost as lazy as Jason, but not quite I don't have his mad skillzzz, so I have to be a little more proactive in trimming.

I have pulled out probably 1.5-2 deg of downthrust and am planning on adding some more + to the wing. I think I am a little more nose heavy than J as well.

Doing this you can get rid of the KE mixing....in fact just removing the thrust and playing with CG gets rid of most of it.
