I had not heard that about Cermark's extra. I just went and put the elevator servo's in this one, and there was an 1 1/2" at least between them.

The off set is to account for right thrust, if it were not that way, your spinner would be off center. I did not really pay any attention until you said something, the off set is a little more pronounced than some other models, but so is my 60" Fliton extra, and on it, the spinner is centered better than on some other models. But all the planes I've had are this way.
