1. Your suspicions are correct. Right-thrust (and often, but not always, down-thrust) lines are more pronounced when the nose of the plane is short.
2. Sounds about right - the nose wheel and its leg are the only weak points in the entire model.
3. The supplied tape is usually alright, but tucking some foam-safe CA under the parts that are peeling up will probably stop the rot.
4. We always fly with a 2200mAh 3S.
5. Don't know - I've never flown with the stock battery. I'd guess about 5 minutes if you were going flat-out most of the time.
All good Dave - it's a great model, no doubt about it. When your stock motor starts to develop cracks in the plastic base-plate (they all do), then upgrading to a Turnigy 3536C with the stock propeller will add a little more zest. Excellent!
