Thanks everyone for the replies. I think when I said "angled to the right" I was thinking of myself facing the airplane (sorry, should have referenced it from the plane's perspective). Just to reiterate, removing the mount is not really an option. It could be done but I would have to destroy the mount in the process. If I have to, then I have to but I just wondered if trim alone could overcome it. I hadn't considered that the firewall may be angled. This kit was an ARF so I did not install the firewall. I checked it with a laser pointer laying between the cooling fins on the engine head.

I guess I'll let my instructor take it up and see if it's ok as is...
