Default RE: Multiplex Easy Star, construction, flight report

I realise this is an old thread - but perhaps some of you "EZ* fliers" are still looking-in from time to time, so perhaps you can help me with this:

I'm considering getting this model in order to get some flying-in during the UK's up-coming Winter (I plan-on leaving my IC gear and models in-storage until next Spring!). The EZ* appears to be ideally-suited to Winter flying, what with it's Epalor construction and the position of its motor/prop, but I'm wondering if any of you can confirm if the built-in motor thrust-line is correct

Why do I ask: I've read that the model climbs under power, so it could be that the motor needs a little up-thrust. If this is so, I'd like to know about it before putting the model together

So: Has anyone felt the need to change the motor's down-thrust? If so: how much did you need to change it?
