Default Nextstar engine alignment

I just got new Nexstar and the engine alignment looks off. The firewall is canted at about 5 degrees from square and when I measured the distance from the prop tips to the leading edge the distance was differenct by almost an inch!. The engine is mounted noticeably to the right of centerline, by about 3/8 in. Anyone else notice this? Is this the way this plane should line up? I added washers to get the thrust line true to the centerline, but the entire motor is still offset from center. Any suggestions?
I looked at a picture from a review, http://www.modelairplanenews.com/reviews/nexStar1.asp and in this picture I can see that the engine is definatly shifted to the right of center. So mine isnt the only one I guess???
Thanks
Brian
