World models ultimate 40s nitro, engine mount?
About have this kit complete, putting an EVO 46 on it. The engine bolts/mounting holes are offset. For the life of me I can't seem to see how the engine will be on the central axis of the plane (and the cowl will line up). I've tried inverted and sideways, both seem to be offset to the right. I think this is the way it comes. Do I have to re-drill the holes? Sorry if this is a dumb ?, haven't built up an ARF for awhile and am somewhat new to the game (3 ARF's total). Here is a picture:

I have a Dago Red and it also are offset. If I'm right they are suppose to be! it's to offset the motor torque!

place the fuselage on the floor and have a close look from standing height the offset that the front engine bulkhead has, you will find this bulkhead will have some decent offset to the right, so when you mount the engine it will be centered at the prop end. this is why the mount holes are offset, all will be fine.
