1/24th scale Piper Tomahawk - in design - a request for information

Hi folks

Very nice to be back on KM - thanks again Gary.

I've had a (very) long term project, trying to make and eventually sell my own custom model kit - heck, long-term enough that 3D printing has caught up to what I wanted it to be as a technology during the course of it. The design for my 24th scale Piper Tomahawk is getting fairly mature at this point, but I do occasionally run into things I'm not sure of, and us modellers being who we are and our pursuit being what it is, I care about getting things correct where I can.

I've recently realised from drawings and photos that the engine is offset, I presume to balance out the torque of the propeller rotating in a single direction (?).

 

 

...and also reassured myself this was the case, and not just an odd drawing or distorted photo, by the fact that there are four fasteners on the forward part of the cowling on the longer left side, and only three on the right.

Because the drawings in the manual seem to be generally more of a visual guide than an accurate and measurable reference, I was wondering if anyone here flys or has flown, or maintains the Tomahawk, and happens to know what the correct offset in degrees is? I've got it right by eye, but if I can get a number I'll work to that!

Thanks in advance

Hamish.
