Standing behind the plane it should be slightly pointed to the "right" and "down". Have fun!

Like any arf, put a gage on it. I have one of these and yes, the angle is off. Get some ernst motor mount shims and bring within 1% down ttrust of wing. 0/0 is best, but for this bird, not real critical. We race them in our club and find them to be great all around flyers. Yes, they stay togeather, I have a sports jett 50 in mine.
