Default setting engine thrust ?

I'm finishing up my Tiger .60 kit.
Before I drill into my engine mount....

Plans call for a 2 degree engine thrust.
I've bolted a 42" piece of angle aluminum in place of the prop.
I have one bolt holding the engine on and the mounts are jast far enough apart to allow me to rotate the engine slightly.
With the engine rotated to achieve the measurements in the photo, I'll tighten the one screw and mark and drill the other 3 holes.
This should give the engine the 2 degrees right thrust relative to the lead edge of the wing.

Does this look correct?

Thanks

Steve
