Default RoadRunner by FunFly

I picked up this large 90" ARF up at the Toledo swapshop. I had never heard of this plane before, it's all there well done, however I'm looking for some one who has experience with this plane.
I guess that it was produced sometime in the 90's but that's a guess. There are no contact information in the 12 page instructions. but it seems to be written by someone who speaks English as a primary language.
With 1390sq" it will be a floater and I intend to use it for my flying test bead for various engines as well as other things that strike my fancy. I just checked the incidences and it has the wing at 2 degrees positive with the stab level which looks to be about the planes datum or reference line. the firewall looks to have some down thrust built in.
I'm wondering if I need to jigger the incidences to get it to not be a crazy climber climber when under full power.
I guess I could raise the wing TE and get it to 0-0.

I have a Roadrunner that is a kit build plane. The first roadrunner as a kit was made in Lander , Wyo. then the company moved to Riverton, Wyo. and started making both kits and ARF's. I don't remember when they shut down but it was sometime in the 2000's. Great airplane and the one I have has over 450 flights on it. It has a 26cc gas engine and I use it as a trainer and just a good old fun flyer. Don't worry about the incidence its fine at 2 degrees but if you want to adjust it I don't think it will make that much difference.
