After I posted that, I re-thought: the appearance of a model's "sit" as it flies is influenced by the relative incidences of wing & stab, popularly mis-named "decalage" by us F/F'ers. That three degrees I metion is a good starting point, and it often works better to put it in the wing - wing plus three, stab zero. This keeps the nose more level-sitting in the glide, avoiding the nose-high "drowning ferret" look.

Listen, let me do some test models and get back to you before you go crazy redrawing everything. Couple days.
