Default RE: Should I use pusher prop or reverse rotation of engine?

In theory, yes the reverse rotation tries to loosen the nut while running but a lot of engines have been set up that way and I've never heard of any problems. As speedster said, most props come loose when starting so in fact you're a bit ahead in that respect .
