Default Firewall Question

Ok another question. I did discover the aircraft is a Sparrow.

It only came with Balsa, about 98% of that and I had to fab the rest, and a set of plans. So far I have gotten pretty far and feel pretty good with my progress. BUT I need help. I want to power this electric. With that said, I need to install the fire wall. The way is looks (as if you are in the cockpit looking forward) is it slants back and to the right. Is that correct ? I know there needs to be some slant but I am not sure about the tilt to the right. This is configured as a tail dragger. I was also thinking I would like to put tricycle gear on it. Is that possible or am I screwing with a good thing here?

(Info only: I have been flying some electric foam gliders and a J3 Cub)

This is my first real build. I have a sailplane I am building as well to be an electric glider.

Thanks
