Default GP Easy Sport 40: engine thrust

I'm currently building this kit, and I'm mounting an OS .46FX engine in it.
Now, the firewall doesn't seem to have any right thrust build-in, so, is this not required for this plane, or would I benefit from giving it a slight degree of right thrust anyway ?

It's not critical, but it wouldn't hurt if you want to do it. The easiest way is to build it as per the instructions, then, once it's finished, add 1 or 2 washers to each of the left engine mount screws between the mount and the firewall.

Thanks MinnFlyer!

Do you have a picture for everything ? Or do you just make them up on request ? Great going!

I already build to fuselage & firewall as per the plans, so the washer thingie is the only way I could go... I guess a little experimenting wouldn't hurt right?
