Default RE: Spad to the Bone Dominator Problem

Is everyone who has commented comfortable with the five degrees of down thrust on the engine? I did not build the Dominator but I just read the instructions and that is what is recommended. Five degrees is a LOT. On my SPAD J3-Cub the wing is mounted MUCH higher than the engine thrust line and as I recall, the required engine down-thrust to counter the wing drag effects is closer to a few degrees. It would be nice to hear from others who have built the Dominator. My SPAD Twin Tail and SPAD Canard have zero engine thrust.
