Props & Engines
« on: November 06, 2015, 07:42:21 AM »
How can you tell a left hand prop from a right hand prop and why the difference? Also are there right hand engines vs. left hand engines. If so what would happen if you put a Right hand prop on a Left hand engine? HB~>

Right hand props produce thrust running counter-clockwise as seen from the front of the model.

Cox reed engines will run either direction. Norvel, Tee Dee, Medallion, AP Wasp engines only run counter-clockwise.

A Left hand prop on a right hand engine is useful in a pusher configuration.
