Pusher Prop or Reverse Engine?
Hi All..
Am planning my build of the KMP Adam A500, my first twin. Am setting it up w/ electric motors, and have a couple questions I can't seen to find answers for via forum search.
This is a push-pull configuration. I'm assuming that no thrust needs to be set, just use whatever is given on the firewall?
Now to the part that confuses me 2 motors out of the box, typically rotate clockwise, as seen from behind the prop, according to how the leads are plugged on a typical single setup. This is fine, since one in front and rear, that would seem to offset torque. A pusher prop would seem to push the air out in this case, as IF the motor was ran reversed? Is that correct? If you ran one motor reversed, that would put all the torque to one side, correct? It would seem easy to want to reverse the rear motor and run a standard prop, but am thinking that again, both motors would therefore turn the same direction hence too much torque?
If someone can set me straight on push-pull, it would be appreciated!
