Naaa, that looks about right. You just need some more right thrust though.

You might need some taller landing gear with that setup also. The ground clearance looks a little iffy.

the down thrust looks pretty close but i would worry about the right thrust as you may have about 2-3 degrees to much...... better yet u better test fly it b 4 making anymore adjustments....

this is a club memebers aeroworks yak with a evolution 58. The fire wall pulled about ten min in the flight and was landed without ferther damage. He had used gorrila glue on the firewall and also pinned it with hardwood pins. None of the wood other than the pins broke. The glue just let go. He was real lucky the motor didn't fall off in air.

Thrust looks good but you would get more efficiency if you shim the motor out a tad.
I got a good laugh out of that first post.
