I noticed on mine there was a fair bit of right thrust on both of them. The cowl also seemed to hang a little to the right. I'm not sure why they did this. Was it just for asthetics or perhaps it was just by accident??
Another thing I did that seemed to help with speed was to raise the ailerons just the bearest fraction. I think it might reduce drag a little bit as well. I'm not sure why, perhaps it makes the airfoil perform a bit better or reduces the pitching moment so the tail plane doesn't have to work as hard. Perhaps it changes the AOA of the wing enough to make the fuse fly more inline with the airflow or mabe I'm just imagening it too, but I think it does make a difference.
