This may sound like a stupid question, but is the prop facing the correct way?

I agree with everyone else that on a 5.5lb plane with a 12x4 spinning at 13000-14000 that plane should have an amazing rate of climb. Even my 5lb Twist with a TT PRO.46 turning 13000 on an APC 12x4 would takeoff in 20 feet and rocket vertical as long as i wanted.
