RE: mounting engines
You mis-read the question Ken.
You do want that offset, but you also want the prop to come out on center.
You have three choices:
1 mount the engine further to the left-hand side,
2 cock the cowl to the right
3 add washers to the right-hand side of the mount to remove some of the offset (3 degrees sounds like a lot - 2 is a more usual amount)
