I have been flying with rotor blades that turn CCW as viewed from the top. These have all been molded fiberglass or carbon fiber blades and I have been very happy with the performance. However, I have just completed a 2nd mold to make the blades that turn CW. I have made three blades and made a few test flights. Previously, with the blades turning CCW, the gyro fuselage always had a slight tilt to the right even if I would try to compensate with lateral tilt in the rotor head or the rudder. With the blades turning CW the gyro has no tilt. The performance seems about the same and I have tested them on two gyros with the same results. Another club member has an electric and a glow engine Kellett. Using my blades that turn CCW, the glow engine Kellett tilts to the right but the electric does not using the same blades.

What direction are the rotors turning for most of the gyro pilots?
