Default PLEASE HELP with engine mount !!

I just about finished my GP Super Sportster EP when I notice the motor & motor mount are tilted to one side (see pic). Is this goint to be a problem? Do I need to remount the motor?

Thanks

If the picture is of the top of the airplane it looks like right thrust which is normal for just about every rc airplane built. Seems like a lot but the mfg should be able to tell you just how much is supposed to be there, usually 2 or 3 degrees.

It's called right thrust. It's there because the prop makes more thrust on the side where the blabe is going down, the right thrust counteracts that. It's a good thing. Go fly![8D]
