The angle does look like it's a bit much. I went over all file attachments in this thread 10 pages, a great many motor modifications and half of them or more have the shaft straight. Others are angled to the right viewing plane from the rear.
Then I went back on my Bixler ll thread and look at all of those attachments. On the Bixler two the plastic can that the motor mounts to has no means to be angle. The can is symmetrical there is no way to put an angle on it unless you shimed it.
When I was first learning to fly which I still am my flight instructor told me on takeoff to hold some rudder right because it will want to twist to the left that sounds like torque to me. I later asked him why and he said P factor, understand what torque is but he didn't explain what P factor is.
I fly sky surfer V2, it's not stock, it's very powerful, and the motor is dead not straight.
As I said I saw some angle in some of the photos on the attachments in this thread I saw just as many with new motor setups that were dead not straight.

I stole that while looking through the attachments it was just too cool for school!
