Default RE: Another Skymaster Viper

We started to plan the turbine install last night and noticed something weird.

Has anyone else noticed that the rails for the turbine are at the wrong angle? Looking from the back of the fuz, you can see the rear of the intake is in line, but the front of the turbine rail is about an inch higher than the back of it, which puts the Turbine on a toatally different line to the thrust tube and intake. I thought it might have just been a mistake on mine, but we took the cover off Ali's Viper and it's exactly the same. Ali hasn't had any problems with it as it is, but i was puzzled as why something as basic as alignment could be so far out.

Ali's has the tailcone of the 160 aligned with the center of the thrust tube, but the front on the turbine is higher due to the rail
