The engines will not turn opposite of each other...no you can't turn one around prop that is

Note ALL The engines are turning the same way!

That engine is not a reversable type and can only be reversed with a reverse timed crankshaft which is unlikely avalible for it.

Therefore you cannot run Counter rotating engines (one in reverse). This means you must use the same propellor on both sides and both must be facing in the normal forward orientation.

Hi!
You cannot use counter rotating props as the engines you have choosen isn't available with reversed rotation crank shafts.
Soo...use ordinary rotating two blade 12x6 props (RAM, Graupner Sonic or APC) or if you want less performance 3-blade 11x6 MA props.
THE

ANSWER IS NO! Both engines will turn the same way. You cannot reverse the direction the engines turn. Putting a pusher prop on one side will just result in air being blown the wrong way that is in your face. The engine will not start or run if you try to force it to run the wrong way.
NO you do not need a pusher prop!
