Default CONTRAROTATING PROPS DIRECTIONS

Just a quick question, which is the best rotations to have on a cat with Contrarotation props? Both rotation outwards or inwards? I know one is best for straight out speed and the other for turns/stability just can't remember what one is what?
Thanks
Mick

All i can speak from is what customers have told me on the Apaches,inward is a tad faster but squirely whereas outward is smoother and more stable thus faster round a circuit etc.This might not be the same for a cat as the props are further apart so the oposite might be true .

No unfortunately, it puts the carby's on the inside of the boat,  aw well just as well that i was buying the header pipes to help me do this, may have to do a little trimming on the inside lip for the plugs.   I prefer to have a stable boat anyday.
