I suppose one do do either but I was wondering what you do on your aircraft.

I steered well clear of the "up/down thrust" debate. It is a matter of correctness vs common usage. My pet grumble is the use of "trailing link" for a trailing arm undercarriage. Another that comes to mind is the electric crowd's use of KV as revs per volt when it is really thousand revs/volt. "700KV" would be one hell of a high revving electric motor where they obviously mean 700 revolutions per volt. Ahh well,,, it is a funny world.

Cheers Ed
