Hi
i was looking at my phantom4 and i notished  the front motors are a bit tilted to the back and inside
and the back motors a bit forward and outside.
i assume its entirely normal, but can someone tell me why this is?
i guess it has something to do with stability, but i wonder.

Yes ... flight stability and to allow the Phantom to descend faster without getting caught up in dirty air from propwash and having the problems associated with Vortex Ring State (VRS).
This means it's safe to descend much faster than the old Phantom 2 series that had vertical mounted motors.

It is normal. It makes the drone more stable and aerodynamic.
