I have one that is about seven years old. I just looked at the front end. I can't tell for sure, but it appears that the firewall is 90 deg. to centerline of the fuselage. I think it is the wooden motor mounts that have offset built into them. In other words, the prop is not parallel to the front of the cowl. Thrust washer is over 1/2 inch out from cowl on mine. A Super tigre 40 w/pitts muffler hauls it with plenty of zip.

But it has been too long ago for me to remember how this was done, please check yours carefully!

To avoid adding nose weight, I moved the servos, radio and battery to just behind the firewall. Even the ail. servos were moved to just behind the leading edge of the wing. All up weight is 6 lb, 6 oz. Wing loading is 10.5 oz/ sq ft !

I will say that this has been a great airplane. They got the aerodynamics right on this one. It is possibly the sweetest flying plane I've flown. And the little children love it!
