| For multi-engined aircraft, sometimes the engines would run counter to each other, which would help to minimize torque and make the platform more stable. I believe some models of the P-38 had this feature. I'm sure many others did as well. With rotary engines, such as the LeRhone, the prop spun with the engine, creating a lot of torque. A good pilot could use that to their advantage to make a snap roll to attack or get out of harm's way.

| Sanity maintainus. Ear plugs are in order tomorrow as the belt sander and shop vac are a little loud. No major physical damage or blood letting thus far! |

| Oh My: airscrew interruptus! |

| JG, let's go with one very for half a screw. If things go well tomorrow I shall accept the second very:-) |

One half rough shaped this day. Four hours of effort. |

Now to remember the sequence I used today to make a duplicate airscrew tomorrow. |

If only Ogre needed a double bladed airscrew the build would be almost completed. |

| Meku, I did not choose the prop the Royal Aircrft Factory did. It is the standard BE series airscrew :-)) |

| what an airscrew! |

| Propeller have chosen is beautiful, it is your work of art, I can not wait. |
| meku, Comment for image # 33735 | 02 Apr 15 05:31 |
| It will definitely be ok, keep my fingers crossed. |

| ...disregard my last statement please - V/T has gone to my head! (It was a DH4!!!!) |

| I note that David's Jenny has a R/H rotation! So nothing is written in stone - we have to watch out! |

| Thanks. I thought my eyes were getting crossed. Rolls and RAF engines are clockwise from the front. I had been studying an RC model of the BeE 12a. The prop was made to suit the motor so it was anticlockwise. It confused me but all is clear now. Thank you for the clarification. Brit aeroplanes can spin both ways dependant on the engine manufacturer...who would have thunk it!! |

| I think John that I should have said "British engined" aeroplnes - The Camel certainly had a counter-clockwise rotation. |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 33737 | 01 Apr 15 19:08 |
| I learned this while researching the BE. My first model, a Camel, I copied the Guillows plastic prop. I guess doing so rotating anticlockwise was incorrect? It was a French engine...I think? |
| bobgood, Comment for image # 33737 | 01 Apr 15 19:00 |
| as do all good British aeroplanes John - looking forward to seeing those beautiful R/H propellors finished. |

| Urinal bottle on this model. Environmentally friendlier than falling drops of "tinkle"! |
