Paul,

Remembering the trim situation at Reno and looking at Biz jet photos, I
noticed that the Biz jet engines that are mounted on the rear sides of
the
fuselage are tilted down at the rear. Is that optical illusion or
design to
offset pitch up at speed?

I don't know the answer to that question.

Usually the thrust line goes through the CG.
Prevents pitch with sudden increase in thrust.

 Paul,
           Look at a Cessna Caravan, when looked at from the side, the
propellor angle in relation to the wing or fuse is very much angled down
so much in fact I thought one parked at Charleville QLD., had a engine
mount problem, until all the passengers climbed back on board and flew
out to Lake Eyre.
