Default Help with this 2 part qustion Please.

Most of you know me by know, I got a simple question by looking at the 2 pictures below. Sorry I don't have a pic of the props looking at it straight on but do your best: Question 1: Which way do they turn? Question 2: What makes that 1 motor turn that way? Does the motor fire opposite of the other 2 or does the transmisson spin the other way? ok 3 questions........

The outer props appear to be turning in or B and E. The center prop is turning to the right or D like the port. The motors all turn the same direction. The drive determines which direction the prop turns. Someone may correct me but that's my answer.

Agreed......B, D, E or Right Right Left

The leading edge of a right-handed prop is to the right of its trailing edge and the leading edge of a left-handed prop is to the left of its trailing edge.

Question 1: Which way do they turn? Depends if you're in F or R

Question 2: What makes that 1 motor turn that way? The starter.

Does the motor fire opposite of the other 2 No

or does the transmisson spin the other way? Yes

I know, lame. Bored!

Are you going forward or backwards?
