Hi Dean, I'm not sure about the mounting angle being backwards! But it can certainly be mounted at various angles, or no angle at all. The two common angles are called 'down thrust' and 'right thrust', where the mount is angled a few degrees pointing down and to the right respectively, although not necessarily together. The down thrust limits the plane's natural climbing performance, while right thrust is used to act against the torque generated by the spinning prop. Which angle and how much totally depends on the model in question and down thrust or right thrust is usually determined in the plane's stages of design. Many planes don't have either angle and fly perfectly well - again, it all depends on the model.
