RE: thrust angle for f4u electric
Any thrust angle should be built in already. If you're looking at a firewall repair, the best place to start is straight-up, to 1 degree down and right.
Beyond that, thrust angle is a "try it and see what works best" thing. Go a little at a time, one washer's worth of down and/or right at a time. That way you won't change the flying characteristics enough to make the plane unflyable.
This is a normal process that competition pilots go through fine-tuning their airplanes, one of the steps of trimming (not adjusting the tabs on your transmitter, really trimming the plane to fly well by adjusting balance and angles).
