« on: June 19, 2014, 09:01:25 PM »
Anyone know what the difference between these two props?

One is a E the other EP. Side by side i see no difference.

Thanks

Paul,
I'm pretty sure that the "EP" designates Electric, Pusher (cw rotation, when viewed from the front of the plane).

Hi Paul
First in big generalities: the "E" props are normal RH CCW rotation, the "EP" props are reverse/LH/CW/pusher rotation. 

Assuming you are past that, the next thing is that there are at least 3 "generations" of the 12x6, there may be differences in the nomenclature molded into the blades.  The latest pushers are marked "F2B".

Paul,

Back in the fifties in Army Basic training, if you could not tell your right hand from your left hand  n1, the drill Sgt. would make you carry a rock in your right hand!!! Do you think that would help you??
