Calculating Thrust Angles

I am building a 40 size flying boat, The engine is going to be about 6" above the fuse, coming out about 4' in front of the top wing. I made a Cad file, but did not realize its not supported on rcu, I was wondering how to figure out how much up thrust it should have or is it something I just have to try and fly and adjust accordingly? Thanks for any help.

RE: Calculating Thrust Angles

Skater I am no expert but having built and flown several different types of pylon mounted tractor configurations, my reccomendation would be for around eight degrees positive.

You could save your CAD file as a PDF and post it here.
