OK, that is interesting. Seen a guy here who tried one and that is how he did it.
Must have been the poor mans version.
So you have a variable pitch propeller or is it a two position propeller on a switch?

Someone came up with the idea of the motor on a propeller driven plane that could rotate clockwise and counter clockwise.
I dont think the prop changes direction of rotation...I believe the blades are turned by a servo that changes the pitch direction or is variable like the rotors on a Heli
yes nitro you are correct...Geistware almost had it, but thats not how it works...its exactly like the rotor head on a heli. infact some people use the tailrotors from eco 8's or t-rexs...
