Default RE: newbie

I am new to electric RC flying (I have some RC sailplane and a lot of RC sailboat experience). After some research I decided to go with the HZ J-3 as a beginner. I have it assembled and was ready to go to the field, but am now anxious about an observation during assembly and wanted to try to for some help or increased comfort before setting out.

When I went through the battery discharge routine, I noticed that when viewed from above, the prop appears to be canted slightly to the right. When viewed from the side the prop appears to be be tilted slightly down. Is this a normal configuration to compensate for torque...or was this plane damaged in shipment? I do not see any obvious signs of damage.

I hope this is a naive newbie query and I can get to the field soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bonefish
