Default Incidence angles

I am a scratch builder who has never built a R/C aircraftmy expierience has been in free flight up till now. I have a decent understanding of basic aerodynamics as they pertain to the type of aircraft I have designed and built so far, but have a couple of questions for you smart folks-1)What is the proper incidence angle for the tail(in general)? I use up to three deg.Positive in my freeflites but suspect that this won't do for radio control.2) What about thrust angles? 3 down and 3 right for freeflight but ???Thanks!!
