Hi everyone, I'm new to RCU and fairly new to R/C airplanes. My first plane, which I learned to fly on my own, was a Wingo Porter, which is the twin engine version of the popular Wingo. I now want to advance into glow powered aileron planes, so I bought a NexStar. I also wanted to get a radio that I can use with future models, and also have extra channels for other stuff (aerial photography, etc), so I got a Futaba 7CAP and bought the ARF version of the plane. I have fully assembled it according to the instructions, which was a little rough at times, especially the part about the fuel tank--there was no instructions on how to put the tubes & clunk in. I eventually figured it out by reading posts here on RCU, and finished assembly of the plane. So anyway, I was adusting the throttle pushrod and noticed that the engine wasn't straight! My first thought was I just needed to loosen the mounting screws and move the engine (a GMS .47) into it's proper place but there is really no room to move it--it's locked in place by the rubber "shoes" that are part of the NexStar mounting system. Then I found the cause. The firewall itself that the engine mount attaches to is not perpendicular to the fuselage! It's visibly off by close to 5 degrees. This seems very wrong to me. I have already contacted Hobbico by email and sent the pictures below to them and haven't gotten a response yet (since last night). I thought I would share this with everyone since I've read that others on here have the ARF version of this plane and may not even notice it if their's is like mine. Seems to me if I was to fly it like this it would certainly roll over into a death spiral after takeoff, but I may be wrong.
